I note the numerous followups to this terminology and the request for
the definition to CELSS.  My suggestion to the original poster is
not to use the net for queries of this type (i.e., what is a canard?)
a better suggestion is take a moment and use a dictionary, or better,
get a book on general aviation.  In the case of a new acronym like
CELSS, the problem are the people following up, please send that person mail.
Send mail, send mail, sendmail......  This is a plea for self-moderation.
These groups are like preaching to the converted, so try not to get
too involved in your and our own retoric.
