The Northrop XP-79B was an experimental flying wing designed as a single man fighter. The pilot would fly the aeroplane lying down fast forward so that the pilot could withstand more G-forces. The XP-79B project was cancelled after an uncontrolled spin and the death of a pilot, this model of the plane is actually quite stable.
