    @DarkLithium it is still a tailless wing. There is no fuselage past the main wings or horizontal stabilizers. Similar to the Me163 Komet and other flying wing aircraft.

    Wikipedia may be terrible to cite, but: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_wing

    Also note how I attempted to blend the fuselage into the wings by flattening it as much as SimplePlanes would let me.

    @Farscyt I might be late but by definition a flying wing is a tailless fixed-wing aircraft that has no definite fuselage. The crew, payload, fuel, and equipment are typically housed inside the main wing structure, although a flying wing may have various small protuberances such as pods, nacelles, blisters, booms, or vertical stabilizers.
    The vertical stabilizer on @chrisman01 plane is a bit large to be referred to as small...
