Northrop YB-35/XB-35 The Flying Wing Failure

The Northrop YB-35 was an experimental, propeller-driven flying wing heavy bomber developed for the United States Army Air Forces during and shortly after World War II. It was a radical design for its era, conceived by aviation pioneer Jack Northrop, with the aim of creating a highly efficient, long-range strategic bomber. Development and Design Concept: The YB-35 eliminated the conventional fuselage and tail section, integrating all crew, engines, and payload within a thick, all-wing structure

The Northrop YB-49 was an American prototype jet-powered heavy bomber developed by Northrop Corporation shortly after World War II for service with the United States Air Force.[1] The YB-49 featured a flying wing design and was a turbojet-powered development of the earlier, piston-engined Northrop XB-35 and YB-35. The two YB-49s built were both converted YB-35 test aircraft. #avgeek #pilot #usaaf #usaf #airforce #usairforce #engineering #ufo #usairforce #heavyequipment #history #b2 #b21 #warbird
