Part of Wing without a Tail Is Twin-Engine Plane

You may wonder what happened to its tail and body when you see a new airplane which is being constructed at the aeronautics department of California State Polytechmic School. It is little more than a, flying wing, in appearance. There are two engines, one in front pulling and the other at the rear pushing, and the fuselage is housed in the “backbone” of the wing between the engines. Movable surfaces along the edge of the wing are used for maneuvering the plane in flight. Although the drawing illustrates a military ship, the first one to be constructed is for civilian use. It can be adapted to mass production and the inventor claims his plane could be produced cheaper than present types.
