BLA82 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Flying wings have been around for years, but unlike all the flying wing incarnations including the B-2 and F-117 these light sport aircraft have no control surfaces and rely on weight shift to control the aircrafts direction in flight. This technology is not new and harkens back to the Wright brothers. Weight shift control aircraft are capable of speeds in excess of 100 mph and can fly as slow as the mid 20's. With gross weights of 1000 lbs. they easily carry 2 and have a range of upwards of 500 miles. It's open cockpit flying at its best. --- Watch Now!
