Title
The Wing Is The Thing - Flying Wings and Tailless Aircraft
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- TWITT came into being in June 1986 at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, California, as the brain child of co-founders Bob Fronius, Marc de Piolenc, Richard Miller and Hernan Posnansky. They took a basic idea for a tailless, high performance sailplane and gathered around them a small group of engineers, craftsmen and pilots who shared their fascination with tailless aircraft. They envisioned achieving high performance flight with a flying wing utilizing an electro-hydraulic control stabilization system to assist the pilot in flying at the extreme aft limit of the aircraft's center of gravity. It was anticipated this, when coupled with a flying wing’s low drag coefficient, would result in significantly higher L/Ds. Their initial goals were to: promote the design and construction of tailless and all-wing airplanes; provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and experience through guest speakers and a monthly newsletter; assemble a technical library devoted to tailless aircraft, and; ultimately to build at least one powered tailless airplane and one high-performance tailless sailplane.
