Add to ORKGMunk's stagger theorem holds that the induced drag of a multiplane is independent of the streamwise position (the stagger) of its lifting elements so long as the gap/span ratios and the element/element lift ratios are specified. In particular, a monoplane-tailplane or a monoplane-foreplane (canard)arrangement can be regarded as a biplane of zero gap and the trim drag due to tailplane download or foreplane upload can be readily calculated. The trim drag penalty is the same for both configurations. Relations are given for trim drag estimates for various practical arrangements
