Not sure if those are antennae or "flow enhancer's", maybe both, the Typhoon is supposed to greatly increase its ability to pitch to a higher angle of attack without departing due to new tri-angular antennae on each side below the cockpit, kinda like the vortex controller on the aft fuse of the F-18 that helped control "vortex bursting"....

Brat, Brat. You know that your "flow enhancers" aka vortex generators find their place in front or on the suction side of an air foil while the top of a horizontal tailplane is the pressure side.

True, but that doesn't mean that bulbous fairing doesn't disrupt flow, and I'm rather positive that I've seen flow enhancers on the bottom and top of similar "junctures" on biz jets or???

antennae do NOT have to be airfoil shaped,,, so I'm not going to concede entirely,,,, I'm going to politely,,, (see how this works guys),,, its easy, concede under protest...Master Delft and I became friends, after our old friend BD Popeye PMed me, and educated me, reminding me that my friend is quite bright..

to be honest Delft, I didn't really process this, but to add to my friends point, the aft mounted horizontal stab provides down force on the aft end of the aircraft, whereas the all flying canard adds to the total lift... leading us to the conclusion that canards are no doubt more efficient,,,,

though in my humble opinion, maybe not quite as effective in the low speed regime?
