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.
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.
The IA 38 was an experimental cargo aircraft based on research by Reimar Horten.The design was developed to meet a 1950 requirement for an aircraft to carry citrus fruits (and in particular, oranges) from the west of Argentina to Buenos Aires, there being no rail links (except to San Luis, Mendoza and other cities) while the roads were inadequate for heavy trucks.

Jarosław Naleszkiewicz's Naleszkiewicz JN-1, nicknamed Żabuś II (Froggy II; the Jach Żabuś was an earlier, unrelated Polish glider) was an experimental tailless glider which was intended to test the behaviour of a proposed twin-engined aircraft of the same configuration. It was preceded by a series of rubber-powered models which proved ...
A tailless aircraft is one which has no separate horizontal stabilizer or control surface, either behind or in front of the main wing. List of aircraft [ edit ]

The Akaflieg Braunschweig SB-13 Arcus was an experimental tailless, single-seat, Standard Class glider designed and built in Germany in the early 1990s. Though it performed as well as its conventional contemporaries, it did not offer sufficiently improved performance to compensate for its difficult handling characteristics.
