WELCOME TO THE BWB CHALLENGE:


What is a BWB?

Google: The BWB is a hybrid shape that resembles a flying wing, but also incorporates features from conventional transport aircraft. ... The BWB airframe merges efficient high-lift wings with a wide airfoil-shaped body, allowing the entire aircraft to generate lift and minimize drag.

    does an F-117 fit in this category? I'm asking because of the tailerons... altho it uses it's fuselage and wings as lift surface...

    @CatHoldingTheSun I dont think i would count that, there is a clear distinction between the wing and the body. It is not secular

    @tucan I'm not saying for myself; I'm in there. but what about other people who don't wanna go with discord? I'm for advertising but when it affects the result of a challenge, that's not something fair.
