The Saab 35 Draken was a successful tailless double-delta design. Like other tailless aircraft, the tailless delta wing is not suited to high wing loadings and requires a large wing area for a given aircraft weight. The most efficient aerofoils are unstable in pitch and the tailless type must use a less efficient design and therefore a bigger wing.
Aerobat I "Bat 1" was a tail-dragger with widely spaced retractable landing gear that folded outward into the bottom of the wing. Most of the aircraft is a reverse-delta wing planform, but the forward fuselage contained the engine which extended in front of the wing. It has two bubble canopies and a lower small window for the pilot to see the ...
Behind the nose radome are the canopy, electro-optical windows, possible side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) arrays, dual-wheel nose landing gear, two under-wing caret inlets, one dorsal intake with diverterless supersonic inlet, double delta wings with five trailing edge control surfaces on each wing (including two split flap rudders at ...
The Lippisch P.12, P.13a and P.13b were related design projects for a ramjet-powered delta wing interceptor aircraft studied in 1944 by German designer Alexander Lippisch. The P.12 and P.13a were unarmed, relying on reinforced wings to ram its opponent. The P.13a and b were to be powered by producer gas made in-flight from powdered coal.
The Convair XF-92 (re-designated from XP-92 in 1948) is an American, delta wing, first-generation jet prototype. Originally conceived as a point-defence interceptor, the design was later used purely for experimental purposes and only one was built.
The X-44 design had a reduced radar signature (due to lack of tail and vertical stabilizers) and was made more efficient by eliminating the tail and rudder surfaces, and instead using thrust vectors to provide yaw, pitch and roll control. [1] The X-44 MANTA design was based on the F-22. The engine and fuselage would be carried over to the X-44.
The delta wing of the P.111 was relatively thin in comparison to contemporary wings and was swept at an angle of 45°. [4] When not fitted with tip extensions, this wing was strongly cropped at about 75 percent of the pure delta shape, while the installation of the larger extensions resulted in an almost unbroken pure delta shape.
The Dyke Delta JD-2 is an American homebuilt aircraft designed in the United States in the 1960s and marketed for amateur construction. It is a monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage and seating for four. The wings can be folded for towing or storage and hinge upwards to lie flat above the fuselage, one atop the other. [1]
