The flying wing is an inherently unstable design. They seem cool. And they can be made to work. But in the end they just aren't worth the trouble. We barely use them now w the aid of computers.

True, but add a small canard wing like the long-ez and it’s a lovely package.

Lots of good info in the video about its different advantages and differences from conventional design. This would have been adopted if not for closed door dealing against Jack Northrop personally.
