| Sep 5, 2017 at 8:24 | comment | added | Urquiola | Responses are good and detailed, but the Arup, Hoffman, Milt's Little Bird and Flying Pancake tailess airplanes all had this type of straight leading edge, and something like an inverted delta trailing side of wing, but were not ground effect machines as the Lippisch aerodynes. Any specific experiences or info about these low Reynolds number, low aspect ratio aircraft? Regards, Salut + | |

Added default text to the picture. Will be mandatory from June on.
