The forward wing on the Piaggio Avanti is to hold the nose up. The Avanti does not have a "typical" horizontal stabilizer that provides downforce to keep the aircraft flying in equilibrium. All flight surfaces on the Avanti create "positive lift" thus the Avanti does not suffer the drag penalty of a conventional aircraft. The Avanti is much more efficient because of these brilliant design characteristics.
