ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a variable camber delta-shaped aircraft. The aircraft is provided with an integrated fuselage/wing generally defining the aircraft and having longitudinal and lateral axes. The fuselage/wing has a forward section which is rotably attached to an aft section about the lateral axis. The aircraft is further provided with an aerodynamic lifting surface which is disposed about the fuselage/wing and defined by a camber. The forward section has a downwardly deflected position when rotated relative to the aft section. The forward and aft sections are cooperatively formed to increase the camber of the lifting surface when the forward section is in the deflected position.
