This post is partly correct, airplanes could carry heavy loads (I would add very large ones too), but airplane design evolved in another direction. I don't know Bohn, still exist? Thanks for sharing!!!

Apparently, youve never seen Northrop's "Flying Wing"....The original bomber designated B- 35 was cancelled, as well as the later YB 49, due to material fatigue and to Politics.

It seems the then-USAF Secretary wanted in, and pressured Jack Northrop to merge with Convair Aircraft. When Northrop refused, Contracts disappeared. The Material problems, to my personal knowledge, could have been worked out; that aircraft flew! But Jets were coming in. Northrop produced the F89 Scorpion from 1948....A perfect example of Technology Marching in leaps not steps....
