Flying Wing Challenge
Pic is of a REALLY old flying wing of mine (that sucked).
BACKSTORY
The flying wing was a concept that emerged with the jet age. The Germans had a crack at it first with the Ho 229 and then the United States had their attempt, the XB-35, YB-49, and to an extent, the flying pancake. While none of those planes succeeded, the United States eventually used the design in their stealth bomber, the B-2 spirit, and again with the B-21 Raider. Your goal is to make a flying wing. It can be any type of flying wing. A fighter, bomber, surveillance, commercial, whatever.

Deadline in 2 days!
@LiterallyHim Yeah, of course
Can I use vertical stabilizers on my build?
@LimeAir I forgot to add a word to my previous message fixes it there
@MarkMCraft I hope not. No offense, I just wanna see other peoples submissions.
I’m the only person doing this challenge for now
Oh nvm
So technically?
Lmao my b-12 is literally one
@Valiant2017 The BICh-17 seems to have a really prominent fuselage, but something like the BICh-14 fits the bill a bit better.
Are tailless aircraft allowed? For example, BICh-17.
@Karroc9522 lol
Ah yes, flying Doritos
So, im building one that everybody knows but is there a part limit/performancecost limit?
