Efficiency, Range and Dual-Use in a Flying-Wing Design
Efficiency, Range and Dual-Use in a Flying-Wing Design
With the HX-2 as a demonstrator, Horten has proven the performance and potential of the flying-wing concept. Building on this foundation, new models have been developed that combine range, stability, and efficiency, making them suitable for both civilian and governmental missions.
The flying-wing design reduces aerodynamic drag and lowers energy consumption. Combined with lightweight construction and modern avionics, it results in aircraft that fly quietly, efficiently, and with exceptional stability. Variants such as the NG2 and the WingLift systems demonstrate the versatility of this technology.
