Further difficulties arise from the problem of fitting the pilot, engines, flight equipment, and payload all within the depth of the wing section. Other known problems with the flying wing design relate to pitch and yaw. Pitch issues are discussed in the article on tailless aircraft. The problems of yaw are discussed below.
Tailless aircraft have been flown since the pioneer days; the first stable aeroplane to fly was the tailless Dunne D.5, in 1910. The most successful tailless configuration has been the tailless delta, especially for combat aircraft, though the Concorde airliner is also a delta configuration.

The Handley Page HP. 75 Manx was a British experimental aircraft designed by Handley Page that flew test flights in the early 1940s for possible transport, bomber and fighter aircraft projects. It was notable for its unconventional design characteristics, being a twin-engine tailless design of pusher configuration.
The purpose was to investigate the future possible use of tailless and tail-first concepts. In 1944, contract Acft/3303/CB.10(c) was issued to GAL for the construction and development of four unpowered proof-of-concept aircraft, three later designated as GAL.56, plus one GAL.61.
The SZD-6x Nietoperz (Bat) was designed and built to research tail-less aircraft, and the control of them. Main designers were Władysław Nowakowski and Justyn Sandauer. [ 1 ] Built in a conventional fashion using wood throughout, fabric covering and steel for highly stressed parts and fittings the SZD-6x was a cantilever monoplane with the ...

This note was the first ever documentary evidence of an aircraft's performance written in flight by the pilot himself. [3] [4] The D.5 was subsequently certified as the first fixed-wing aircraft ever to achieve stable flight. The D.5 crashed whilst being flown by another pilot the following December, and parts of it were re-used to build the ...
