Along the same lines…sort of…
The Boeing blended wing concept.

It’s so radical it would likely have to have a full scale proof of concept before (rightfully) conservative airlines would order them.
Frankly, I’d like to see the USAF order some as advanced tankers to supplement the KC-46, that would certainly demonstrate the concept.

You have be to real careful now.

There is a flying wing, lifting body, blended wing…and a lifting fuselage…latter is the Burnelli /DeMonge concept from 1922.

Awesome data ! Great photos.

Thank you.

Just think about putting Scaled Composites to revitalize the concept ?!

Yes it is, for all types.
Since it doesn’t happen with warbirds these days, many forum members may not appreciate the continued flight in IMC, leading to loss of control which leads to in-flight breakups.
If happens to higher performance, owner-flown types because they are out there in the bad weather whereas lesser types are still on the ground. If the pilot is a bit rusty with his/her instrument work, bad things can happen. Unfortunately, many who own high performance IFR capable aircraft are busy professionals…which is how they can afford the aircraft in the first place…and despite training requirements put in place by the FAA
and their insurance companies…get into trouble.

Yes, Beech won the trial and also the FAA conducted a special review of its type approval and found it safe.

Is the Type Approval open source info ?
