Why are all the flying wings that I see on the market either tapered, swept, or delta? Can you use a straight wing for a flying wing design??? I'd like to make a ducted fan tie fighter with half of a crashed 4 star wing; do you think it's possible?
Thanks,
Chris
You can use a straight chord wing as a flying wing. Al Backstrom did this more than 50 years ago with his full scale Plank sailplane. The trailing edge does need to have a reflex section either by rib profile or by a turned up trailing edge which can also incorporate the elevons.
