No Control Surfaces Plane
#1
"Researchers in the UK have flown the first aircraft that can maneuver without conventional control surfaces like flaps. In place of elevators and ailerons, the aircraft uses jets of air along the back of the wing to control lift. The demonstration aircraft has been developed as a test bed for new flight-control systems and aircraft manufacture techniques. "

It is also more stealthy, as sharp, abrupt angles and gaps like those created by flaps are hard to hide from radar.

I wonder what they will come up with next? Amazing science aviation is - no doubt.
