Hi folks,
A while back I was looking for a reference to a late-80s Stealth proposal (source I cannot now remember) for reducing radar cross-section by putting the wings inside the aircraft. Instead, I found this: Jeff Lewis's 'inner wing' concept (as below): http://www.jefflewis.net/blog/2011/04/interesting_hovercraft_concept.html
As he explains: "A prop would blow air over interior wings to generate the lift, and a pair of side by side nozzles on the back could aim the airflow to provide thrust and yaw control. I had dreams of revolutionizing aviation with my invention". (He goes on to explain why it won't work …)
Cheers, 'Wingknut'.
