Flying wing
A flying wing is a type of aircraft design with no tail, one in which the majority of the fuselage is inside a thickened wing. Since a wing is necessary for any aircraft, removing everything else theoretically results in a design with the lowest possible drag. A modification in which the fuselage is still retained is known as the tail-less design. Waldo Waterman's Whatsit, considered by some to be the first flying wing, falls in this category.
