Control Aspects of Flying Wings with Aft- & Forward- Sweep, Camber & Twist

Abstract

Concluding remarks: 1) Revival of interest in Flying Wings for military & civil; 2) Appreciation of solvers, linear theory, Euler; 3) Strategy: Appropriate solvers with stability constraints; 4) Aft- & forward- swept planforms designed & studied with lifting surface theory; 5) Capitalize on FSW laminar flow; 6) With aeroelastic tailoring, structural divergence should be less of a problem; 7) Preliminary work on laterals, FSW permits dihedral effect.
