Hi! I m new here so thanks you all for reading this message, I hope you will apologize if I don t speak english properly.
The thing is that I can t figure out how flying wings can manage to rotate (around the y axis) decently?
I m not thinking only on perfect flying wings like the Horten IV, Northrop N9 but any aircaft without horizontal stabilizer: Concorde, French Mirage...
How they can do that without vectorial thrust o supercomplex fly by wire systems (B2)?
Delta wings are flying wings but they can easily change the pitching moment moving the CofG of the pilot. I don t think the aerianne SWIFT is abble to change the pitching moment during the flight this way. The ultimate version was equipied with spoilers to help the pilot to loose altitude, I suppose they put them to avoid the pilot to do eights to land.
Again Thanks,
Oriol
