GLIDER. An all-wing, tailless, single-
seater glider has been announced in
the British magazine “Flight” as a
recent achievement of the Horten
brothers, German aircraft designers.
Known as the Horten IV, the ship
is reported to have stayed aloft for
91% hours. Like all other tailless air-
craft, the ship can be turned to the
right or left only by banking. This
is done by means of three individually
operated flaps set in the trailing edge
of each wing, which can be made to
serve as elevators as well as ailerons.
‘To add to the ship's maneuverability,
two additional pairs of flaps, one in
the leading edge of each wing, have
been installed to serve mainly as
“negative” elevators.
