Factual knowledge concerning their stability and handing characteristics remains in deep mystery.
In professional circles, flying wings are considered unstable and unpredictable creatures because they are highly spirited and extremely difficult to fly. However it is acknowledged that if such a tailless configuration could be made stable and manageable, this concept would indeed be the ideal flying machine. It is a fact, that over the years, a number of flying wings have appeared and flew successfully, but have never enjoyed any degree of popularity. A wary public could not believe that an aircraft could fly reliably without a tail. I too was skeptical and refused to believe that flying wings were entirely manageable in flight.
