Tailless Aeroplanes: A basic aeroplane design, first evolved by Lt J.W. Dunne in 1907. It dispenses with tail surfaces carried on a fuselage or tailbooms.
In his book An Experiment with Time he claims that one of these was the first aeroplane ever to achieve natural stability in flight. Certainly, Dunne designed the first practical tailless aeroplanes. Few records of these aircraft remain.
