Flying wing with a fuselage?

Indeed: I'd say it was more of a tailless aircraft than a flying wing, in fact, if it only had moving wingtip controllers, you could pass it off as coming from Shorts to a Geoffrey Hill isoclinic design..... ;D

Fantasic artwork Jozef. :)

Jozef and Konstantin,

I'm a little confused: Il-52-1-1.jpg blueprint shows four jet engines, but in the Il-52-2-2.jpg artwork it looks more like only two jet nozzles one above the other. ???
 
Jozef,

Thank you for the detail. Now I can go to bed and sleep tight ;) .
 
Am I wrong in disagreeing with this being called a 'flying wing'?

I'm finally asking the question: The first image, it's a M-20 study? If so which variant?

yes. you must register first - that's clearly said there
 
The first picture looks like a scaled '45 Blohm & Voss BV.P215

...Sites like that are usually a waste of time. It's not like anything they have to offer is worth hiding in the first place, and when I do come across a site that requires registration they *never* get any data from me that's valid lest it be used for unlawful purposes.
