The wing, a technological vector
The Cryotechnic Flying Wing. Architecture, Sizing, Volumes, Technological and Certification Issue

As the flying wing is by definition unstable in pitch (because it lacks a horizontal rear plane), stability will be ensured by electric flight controls, as was already the case on Concorde (analog controls), but given the low altitude and low speed conditions, we'll need to be more efficient to compensate for more critical turbulence conditions.

This means integrating five independent ECUs with five separate algorithms controlling five different circuits acting on at least six double-action elevons, but also anticipating the dynamic effects of atmospheric instabilities (turbulence and gusts).

Generalized Predictive Control (GPC), as mentioned above, opens up new prospects in this area. However, it...
