Thanks Trim
Yes ... I understand the basic physics behind conventional wing anhedral and dihedral along with the need to trade off/compromise in order to optimise design/performance goals. It's just that such a marked anhedral on the Tyhoon canard/foreplane is perhaps easier to understand given the marked anhedral on the aft pitch control surfaces of such legacy mil FJ' like the Phantom, Harrier etc. against the complete reverse on the Rafale.
It's an interesting question ... Let's see what others come up with ...
Thanks again ...
