    2.1.1 Flight loads

    A major advantage of the flying wing is its homogeneous spanwise load distribution. In a conventional aircraft, the presence of concentrated masses (mainly the fuselage and powerplant) leads to sudden variations in shear force in the wing. In a flying wing, if the payload and propulsion are distributed throughout the wing, the bending moment is much smoother. Figure 14 shows the lift in...
