Ok Im probably wrong for sum reason. On a canard the faster you go the more lift the canard produces compared to the main wing. On an aft loaded airfoil as speed increases the center of pressure moves back. hypothetically could one put the two together for less pitching moment compared to a conventional design that has to have a huge trim drag associated with a laminar airfoil? thanks all.
