X/ YB- 35 FLYING WING

The notion of a flying wing had been created by John Northrop within the 1930s with a series of flying models. The project which would result in the XB-35 had been confirmed thanks to a request a very long range bomber by the USAAF. It was a tremendously complex task as well as the first prototype took journey just after the war was over, on June 25, 1946. By now the number of requests had already been paid down and just two XB-35s plus one YB-35 had been constructed, although some were transformed to reaction motors. Perhaps not withstanding a few promising traits, the formula unfortuitously had several serious restrictions, also it ended up being made a decision to concentrate utilizing the construction of more old-fashioned B-36s. Years later, as a result of advances in neuro-scientific computer technology, the flying wings would be successful utilizing the Northrop B-2, whoever wing period is practically identical to that particular of this XB-35.
