Jack Northrop never went to college, but his strict work ethic, incredible drive, and unwavering ambition trumped his lack of formal education. He was a visionary who became a giant in aviation, familiar today as the Northrop in Northrop Grumman. But he never saw his pet project come to life, the flying wing aircraft whose whole body was a lifting surface. With minimum drag and maximum lift, he imagined the radical design becoming an efficient long range bomber. The first true flying wing took flight in the mid 1. Not until seven years after his death did Northrops flying wing really take off, becoming the asset to the US Air Force he knew it could be. Jack Northrop before Northrop. John Jack Knudsen Northrop was born in 1. But it wasnt long after the skies began filling with airplanes that he became captivated by aviation in 1. Santa Barbara. Five years later he was working for Loughead Aircraft better known by its phonetically rebranded name, Lockheed, developing flying boats and designing wings during the First World War. But he was also working on one of his own projects. The S 1 single place biplane had a monocoque fuselage and folding wings, an overall ingenious design that was well ahead of its time when it was unveiled in 1. But innovation came at a price. Each S 1 cost 2,5. Northrops plane ruined Lockheed, and he moved to Douglas Aircraft in the early 1. Round the World cruisers and devoted his spare time to his new pet concept of an all wing aircraft. In the nearly two decades that followed, Northrop undertook a handful of successful business ventures, including reviving Lockheed Aircraft and developing the record shattering Vega airplane for the company. In 1. 93. 8, he formed his own company, Northrop Aircraft, based in Hawthorne, California. He intended for it to be an aviation research and development company, but the Second World War intervened. The XB 3. 5, the Flying Wing. Like many smaller aviation firms, Northrop found his company contributing to the war effort by building components of other companies aircraft while only managing a handful of its own projects. But that changed on November 2. US Army Air Force AAF initiated Project MX 1. The idea was to develop a high altitude, long range, heavy bombardment aircraft. Northrop won the contract, and it was exactly the project Jack Northrop needed to get his flying wing off the drawing board. The aircraft was called the XB 3. It was also massive, its 1. B 1. 7 Flying Fortress, which was just over 1. And it included a host of new technical developments. Northrops flying wing boasted power operated elevons and rudders, which necessitated attaching springs to the control wheels and under the rudder pedal to give the pilot a feel for his control surfaces. Ram air pressure in a bellows attached to the control columns gave the pilot the same feeling of his elevator control. On the planes exterior, trim flaps, elevons, landing flaps, and split flaps for rudders were arranged along the trailing edge, the rear width of the wing. It also used wing tip slots with automatically controlled covers for increased longitudinal stability at high angles of attack. Even without a central fuselage, the XB 3. Eight bomb bays were built into the wing allowing it to carry 1. It also had twenty 0. The only traditional thing about the design was the engines. The wing was powered by four Pratt Whitney Wasp Major 3,0. And though the aircraft was nothing but wing, there was still ample space for a crew. The pilot sat in a plexiglass bubble left of centre with the co pilot to the right and below him. Stations for an engineer, a radio operator, navigator, bombardier, and gunners were also in the forward part of the body. There was even room for a relief crew of six to sleep, a necessity given the design requirement of a 1. It really was shaping up to be wholly unlike anything else in the skies at the time. The Flying Wing Takes Flight. The original 1. 94. XB 3. 5, but it was amended before long to include a second aircraft as a backup. In late 1. 94. 2, thirteen service test models designated YB 3. June, the final number of production XB 3. But Northrop couldnt meet this demand, even when the Army Air Force brought the Glenn L. Martin Company in to help with the program. The partnership proved more of a hindrance than a help. There was confusion over the X and Y designations, a marked lack of coordination with other ongoing programs by both companies, and an overall loss of engineers to the draft. When the AAF reviewed the program in May of 1. The XB 3. 5 became a post war project, and this new designation brought a silver lining to the program. As WWII drew to a close, air forces on both sides of the conflict were using turbojet engines in their aircraft. It was clear that propellor planes like the XB 3. Work on the XB 3. On May 1. 6, 1. 94. Northrop test pilot Max Stanley a safe way to get a feel for the controls. After dozens taxi tests in the month that followed, the XB 3. June 2. 5. Stanley reached a top speed of 2. Northrop Airport to the Muroc Army Air Base. That first flight was dogged only by the erratic movement of one propeller governor, the mechanism that changes the propeller blades angle to maintain a selected speed as the aircraft flies through varying conditions. The governor problem didnt go away on later flights, and was compounded by other problems. Stresses from counter rotating propellers led to fatigue issues that in turn forced slower flights. On to the Next One the YB 4. While the XB 3. 5 program moved forward, the AAF decided to pursue an experimental jet powered version of the flying wing. And in an attempt to keep production costs down, the decision was made to convert existing aircraft to their jet powered versions rather than build completely new aircraft. And so two B 3. 5s then under construction were converted to YB 4. Eight jet engines replaced the four propellor engines, vertical fences and fins were added for stability, and two of the bomb bays were converted to fuel tanks. It was far from a perfect aircraft. Though sleek and manoeuvrable, the YB 4. Another problem was its relatively small bomb bays. The XB 3. 5 had been designed to hold WWII era bombs, not larger post war versions. The larger bombs demanded the bay doors remain partially open in flight, adding significant drag, the very thing Northrop had been keen to eliminate with the flying wing design. In spite of these issues, production moved forward and the first YB 4. Hawthorn on September 2. A month later on October 2. Max Stanley was again at the controls for the first taxi test. The very next day, the pilot took the jet powered wing on its maiden flight, another run from Hawthorn to Muroc. It was an uneventful 3. From there, test flights began in earnest with a mix of failures and successes. There were technical problems with the auxiliary power units that supplied a current to the electrical system as well as with the still new jet engines. The YB 4. 9 also revealed stability problems that threatened to rob the aircraft of its intended purpose of precision bombing. Offsetting these failures were successful flights. On April 2. 6, 1. YB 4. 9 stayed aloft for 9. Death of the Airmen and the Dream. By June of 1. 94. YB 4. 9 had racked up 2. Northrop team. On June 5, the 2. Muroc for a performance test. In the cockpit was pilot Major D. N. Forbes and his co pilot Captain Glen W.
