The list of badly-conceived flying wing designs in patents seems to be endless ::)
 
Via my dear Tophe,

a clearer views.

Hello Sir - what do you find to be badly-conceived about these designs?

They appear like they would be quite able to fly (even if they'd have less than optimal efficiency).
 
Schneiderman said:
Are you serious?

Yeah, except for the landing gear configuration / float volume. I don't see any reason why these designs couldn't fly.
 
It wold be interesting to see how they behave.One thing which wold help is some way to blow a prop or two over each rudder. Embedded engines and prop units above the wing wold do this.

Tails are what "all-wing" designs need, and most of these have tails.

Good question.

Well, some concepts have been re-used both by Boeing-NASA on the "C-Wing" (McMaster-Paisley-Hubert-Kroo-Bofah-Sullivan-Drela) and by Synergy Aircraft
