A flying wing aircraft control for angle of attack and direction thereof, comprising retractile controlling surfaces rearward of the center of lift and along the trailing edges and extensible over the top and bottom cambers of the wing in spaced relation to the trailing portions thereof and with variable angular dispositions with respect to air flow over the cambers so as to establish the desired moment arm with respect to the lift center of the flying wing to control the same into and out of a nose-up attitude with respect to the line of flight and with respect to direction, as required.

A flying wing aircraft control for inducing angle of attack and controlling the line of flight, and including; a wing having upper and lower cambered surfaces and a center of lift substantially forward of a trailing edge establishing a moment arm therebetween, upper and lower trailing edge pitch control surfaces aft of the center of lift and retractile substantially coincidental with the upper and lower cambered surfaces of the wing, lever means to space said upper and lower pitch control surfaces into the air stream above and below said upper and lower cambered surfaces of the wing and inclined upwardly with respect to the air stream continuing to flow over and under the wing for reaction downwardly at the trailing edge of the wing, and means positioning the lever means to extend and retract said pitch control surfaces for adjusting the downward force reaction on said moment arm and resultant pitch control of the flying wing aircraft.
