Flying Wing
A "Flying Wing" is a type of aircraft design that features a wing structure without a distinct fuselage or tail. This design allows for improved aerodynamics and reduced drag, making it more efficient in flight. The entire body of the aircraft is essentially a wing, which can enhance lift and stability.
Flying wings are often used in military applications, such as the Northrop B-2 Spirit, a stealth bomber known for its unique shape. This design minimizes radar cross-section, making it harder to detect. Additionally, flying wings can be used in experimental aircraft to explore new technologies and flight capabilities.
