wings like that are extremely expensive and hard to make with composites, consider that a straight wing costs 10% of a sweptback wing with some minor inclination change.
This looks dumb.
I'm guessing it's structurally very strong (light), but there is no way that makes up for having all of that extraneous vertical surface, there is more vertical surface than lifting surface on this aeroplane.

Just what I was gonna say, and the wings are even worse. One of the main reasons T-tails have died is that they were a maintenance nightmare and a number of fatal crashes have happened because crews couldn't be bothered to climb up there and inspect/service things, imagine half the wing being even higher than that.
Dyson never claimed any of what you guys are talking about. Their fans do work on the fluid dynamics principles, just not the way you guys think it does.
they did exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stipa-Caproni
the big problem with closed wings is their aids-tier low speed handling and shit tier wing loading. Also lifting body design do the same thing as these garbage planes but better
How the frick could it be real, it doesn't have a single visible control surface. There is literally no way to steer it. Well i guess you could to differential thrust to get some yaw control but that barely helps the situation. Not to mention just intuitively the wing looks way too small for that size plane
They are considerably slower and less efficient than swept wing designs. Something like this could work for a hobbyist drone where people dont give a shit about fuel efficiency

yep
Wingtip VORTECES enable more efficient formation kino. If the wingtips line up, the dudes behind and slgihtly to the side of you use less fuel.
>the dudes behind and slgihtly to the side of you use less fuel.
yeah but that's useful for airliners (see airbus new tech that i don't remember the name of). if your lead is bingo fuel you are going back with him
The better question is why we don't have blended wing transport aircraft yet.
Look at that storage space.
Imagine how many bombs and missiles it could carry.
That's neverminding that you can try and ape the arkbird aesthetic which would be kino
Also for the record, over a regular big airliner a blended wing body has something like 3x the space.
It's main issue for passengers is that the inertia gets kind of fricked, but if you're just hauling drones or bombs or ground gear, that thought goes mostly out the window.

It'd also work as a drone mothership.

Interestingly the airforce has already selected for a company to build a demonstrator of this thing.
Maybe I'll go make a thread for it.

The thing about wings that nobody ITT brought up yet is that they have to be able to flex in order to not snap off or shatter into a million tiny pieces. Every time the plane tilts side to side, upwards or downwards the wings flex. Every time a plane hits turbulence, the wings flex.
This rigid looking donut design would do frick all if it ever needed to flex and as such it will never ever fly anything larger and/or faster than a fricking Cessna crop duster
Because it's dumb. All of the vertical wing section is useless as a lifting airfoil. You'll see biplanes re-emerge in viability before whatever abomination in your pic does.
Lots a static stability, good for an airliner that never banks more than 45deg but terrible for a fighter.
Also you would have a hard time making a better radar reflector fly.
Because it's cringe and has no space for armament

Looks gay.
Forward-swept wing fighters are gay.
You are wrong.
They're the hybrids of the aerospace industry and they're only going to be weaponized when we finally get our shit together as one nation and let them fricking Intergalactic Global Order experience another fricking big bang because humanity has always been the main race
I fricking love the longsword
The only good thing about this piece of shit show was jerking off to that MILF Halsey
I heard that show barely had Master Chief in it.
I really wish someone would tell Lockhead "No" for once.
Because it's not a bomer, that's clearly the focusing lens for its laser cannon
Because YOU op, haven't come up with a good design for one, or you have, don't have the balls or gumption to sell it.
Work harder you shit drinker.
That would never fly, it's heavier than the air.
Air obviously gets heavier as you go up, that'a why if you leave the plane the atmospheric pressure crushes you
That sounds wrong but I don't know enough about chemistry to contest it.
The advanced home economic theories agree with the theology.
Build more of those weird hoops and you'd potentially have a frame to hold up some gas bags, she'd make a fine dirigible.
wings like that are extremely expensive and hard to make with composites, consider that a straight wing costs 10% of a sweptback wing with some minor inclination change.
looks bad.
We do. They just don't tell you about them yet
Wide hangers are easier to maintain than tall hangers, ask your mom about it.
This looks dumb.
I'm guessing it's structurally very strong (light), but there is no way that makes up for having all of that extraneous vertical surface, there is more vertical surface than lifting surface on this aeroplane.
>extraneous vertical surface
Parasitic drag.
because its fake.

What is even the advantage of such a design? Does that ring-wing also provide a bunch of extra thrust like a bladeless dyson fan?
>extra thrust like a bladeless dyson fan
Dyson doesn't do that. It's all marketing.
Dyson never claimed any of what you guys are talking about. Their fans do work on the fluid dynamics principles, just not the way you guys think it does.
>wing
>thrust
He meant lift, that's pretty clear.
The word thrust is what is pretty clear, you whiteknighting is also pretty clearly gay as heck!
>What is even the advantage of such a design?
none, that's why it doesn't exist.
they did exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stipa-Caproni

so what you are saying is that OP's image is fake. thanks for clarifying that.

It actually appears to have ailerons/elevons and maybe a rudder, not that it makes it any more plausible.
Can't have wing-tip vortexes if you have no wing-tips
Wingtip VORTECES enable more efficient formation kino. If the wingtips line up, the dudes behind and slgihtly to the side of you use less fuel.
try flying through actively turbulent air and tell me you prefer it cause it's more efficient.
only thing it could be good for is if you had a massive pawg ass on your lap and you needed some earth shattering force to shake it
>wingless design elminates wings
Checkmate vortixers.

Status, comrade?
But where's the ring?
hmm

Plus fuel efficiency over regular planes. Forgot to mention that.

If it were up to the airliners, passengers would be stacked like African slave ships, so that's really just a bonus for them.
reminds me of the boxcar, I want to see a company of paratroopers parachute out of it
Blended wing and high powered lasers, please let us be on the Arkbird timeline. Mass driver launcher/space elevator in the next decade.
It'd be pure kino.

thats also really bad place to have an engine fire
Because it's dumb. All of the vertical wing section is useless as a lifting airfoil. You'll see biplanes re-emerge in viability before whatever abomination in your pic does.
The engines are high up and a pain to access, it's so tall that you need to rebuild all hangars for it.
I knew it reminded me of something.

I can make a paper airplane that looks like that
Test
wtf is that?
