Well I guess you can call them interesting. Canard aircraft have two lifting surfaces, the main wing and the canard, with the CG located somewhat in front of the wing's center of pressure.
The Avanti is another unconventional design, with 3 lifting surfaces, although it is not a true canard aircraft. Looking at one, the CG is probably in front of the wing's center of pressure, although I could be wrong. Cruising at 390kts in a turboprop is pretty impressive though.
