Best Answer

A flying wing is essentially an airplane with the fuselage missing or embedded into the wing. The aircraft appears to be largely just a wing. The B2 bomber is a flying wing. There are other examples. The ultralight of many years ago called the Mitchell Flying Wing was a wing with the pilot slung underneath. There are other examples. They tend to have control sensitivities in the directions of pitch and yaw. Computers and active control surfaces assist in controlling the B2.
