the wing panel on the down aileron side. This provides speed  brake operation and lateral control simultaneously.  Winglets are the near-vertical extension of the wingtip  that reduces the aerodynamic drag associated with vortices  that develop at the wingtips as the airplane moves through  the air. By reducing the induced drag at the tips of the  wings, fuel consumption goes down and range is extended.  Figure 2-17  shows an example of a Learjet 60 with winglets. A canard wing aircraft is an airframe configuration of a fixed- wing aircraft in which a small wing or horizontal airfoil is  ahead of the main lifting surfaces, rather than behind them as  in a conventional aircraft. The canard may be fixed, movable,  or designed with elevators. Good examples of aircraft with  canard wings are the Rutan VariEze and Beechcraft 2000  Starship.
