He was WAY ahead of his time by designing airplanes whose fuselages, vs. being dead weight tubes hanging between two wings, had a true airfoil cross section that generated lift plus had greatly increased interior volumes for passengers and cargo. Their influence on the B2 Bomber, along with Jack Northrop's flying wing vision, is obvious. Enjoy, John
