I wonder how it compares to a flying wing.

I am sure you will all appreciate that none of the Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij V-wing Project team members bear even the slightest resemblance to our own Flying Dutchman, @Frank v B !  8)

Makes any maiden flight I have ever undertaken pale by comparison. Interesting the pilot did not use the "pinch" on the sticks. None the less, he got the job done.
