Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's Tutorial Plane

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.

    @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.
