Sedalia Dave Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 No matter how advanced the flying wing design was; it was a dead end design with flaws that were insurmountable until modern computers provided the means to overcome those flaws.

Rip Snorter Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Actually as a very small boy after WWII I recall seeing one in the air. I lived near major East Coast Army Aircorps bases that were still active in the wind down after the war. It must have been the B 35, though there were not many flights.

Too bad they couldn’t get the cooling problems worked out the B-35 engines. It was more laterally stable than the B-49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
