FLUFF: WHY DO THEY USE BI-PLANES? Because Bi-planes have good lift characteristics generally, and because with planes taking off from ships, the designers have to be conservative. No forward control canard winged or pusher propeller designs or even monoplanes, unless seriously proven, need apply. Be...

Missile or ship, when it turns, you expect the shove forces employed to change the direction the nose/bow points alone?
