Another flying wing. Very stable in the air. Please rate, comment, enjoy.
Historical info:
The Northrop XB-35 was an experimental heavy bomber aircraft developed by the Northrop Corporation for the United States Army Air Forces during and shortly after World War II. The airplane used the radical and potentially very efficient flying wing design, in which the tail section and fuselage are eliminated and all payload is carried in a thick wing. Only prototype and pre-production aircraft were built, although interest remained strong enough to warrant further development of the design as a jet bomber, under the designation YB-49.

6,469 NassassinGood looking and mostly stable. But it needs it needs some more vertical stabilizers somewhere to stop that little wiggle; that's more 1940's Northrop's problem than yours though9.3 years ago
