I was watching a Nat Geo show on the Horton flying wing. Have there
been any experiment flying wings built? I found this:

Depends on your definition od "experiment" (sic). Several of Mr. Fauvels
flying wing gliders never reached production so one could call them
experimental, I suppose.

Well, the Easy Riser ultralight in its original form would be a (pair)
of flying wings :)

A fellow who sometimes posts here, designed and built a flying wing
successfully.
It was distinguished by using mostly flat panels.
There was a lot going for this "stealth like" design. The stress levels
were low - all the structure was reacting air loads locally....

Scroll down the page to see it. If my memory is correct there was a
sailplane version too.

There have been quite a number of experimental, homebuilt flying wings:
1. The plank glider
2. Dyke Delta powered plane
3. Facetmobile

Rather attractive, and seemed to fly reasonably well.

Flying Wings......... :^)
