This flying wing design took place shortly after WWII, with this being a jet engine design of the earlier XB-35 piston engine plane. This is so far the only one of its kind on simple planes as far as i know, but i may be wrong... I havent installed a bomb bay into this plane as i run it on Ipad and it barley works as it is... It flies great but sometimes may veer on the runway... There is no rudder control, as it would make the plane flat spin among other things... Please rate and put forth suggestions... WWIIPlaneBuilder

seems to fly beautifully. the only thing I can really criticize is the short flight endurance; this thing guzzles fuel like no tomorrow. even after I greatly increased th fuel capacity, I can only squeeze maybe 4 minutes of flying time at full throttle before the fuel runs out even with double fuel capacity, though I doubt the real thing could hit 2000mph.
