In their quest for flight efficiency, some designers thought the ideal shape would be just a wing, nothing else, flying through the air.
Though successful development of flying wings has often proved illusive, Northrop's designs proved feasibility, and the B-2 Stealth Bomber brought the configuration into production.
Featured Aircraft:
- Northrop N-1M "Jeep" flying wing
- Northrop YB-35
- Northrop YB-49
- Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber
