Found this gem of a site yesterday when i was researching the flying wing concept as a home build.
It seems that my belief that only the germans had explored the flying wing concept was wrong, yes the modern designs might have been influenced more by the germans, horten specifically, however the tailess concept has been invesigated in many forms by many countries. (check out the UK: “Hill” designs)
Although a lot of the designs on the page took my interest, two designs or concepts really stuck out.
one of which was the precursor to the Draken.
Here is the link to the site for anyone who wants to be educated and http://www.century-of-flight.net/new%20site/frames/flying%20wing%20frame.htm
If anyone has any more information on the flying wing please post it here.
