Yaw Stabilization for Tail-less Aircraft

1,792 RenxBlake  6.0 years ago

Does anyone who has worked on a flying wing or has experience with tail-less aircraft, have any tips or tricks that mitigate the yawing motion for tail-less aircraft? If you do, please comment your solution in the comments.

Thank you for your assistance.

    the b-2 uses airbreaks like surfaces to slow one side down

    have some dihedral on your wings, so it centers itself while flying. use fuselage blocks as yaw surfaces, for a more smoother yawing, and as others say, more drag at the back.

    The one true tail-less plane I've made, I used air brakes configured to be yaw brakes.
    It needed near-constant attention, but after a bit if flying, ir was easy enough to understand

    shrink a wing panel down to something like 0.2, it retains the same aerodynamic controls as the full size just easier to hide in a fuselage block, have a look at some of my recent builds where ive done just that.

    Try to have more drag at the back than at the front.
