The British flying wing

[Ex-Bay]

I share with you some photos, including a rare photo with markings of the Royal Air Force, of the experimental airplane Armstrong Whitworth AW-52. If the plane had entered service during World War II would have helped to anticipate the end of the conflict? Visit the link below, see the photos and answer on this question.

I doubt it,

The yanks had something similar back in the day if memory serves me correctly made by Northrop.

memory still works and thanks to Mr Google here is Northrop's 1940's flying machine

They did a jet powered version later YB 49

That is the AW-53G a scaled down glider version used for research and IIRC that picture was taken at Bitteswell.
