From Arda Industries:
This is the last proof-of-concept for Hybrid Wing Bodies, after which Arda Industries will begin immediate production of the next line of cargo and utility airliners, in both conventional wide-body and hybrid body entries using the technologies developed in the construction our proof-of-concepts.
Arda Heavy HWB Features:
- Variable Geometry Rudder
- Flying wing mode with split-rudder system
How To Operate in Flying Wing Mode:
After Take-off:
-Variable Geometry Rudder [AG5]: Off
-Flying Wing Mode [AG6]: On
Note: Do not operate with both systems off or on, one must be on at all times or aircraft will be uncontrollable.
Operation
Lift-off: 130m/s
-Slider [reflex trim] 100%
-Slider 2 [var. geo. rudder]: 100%
-Lift-off ONLY with Var. Geo. Rudder at 100%, Flying Wing Mode during take-off not recommended.

@DPSAircraftManufacturer It definitely is a neat concept, and it looks good too! I'm stoked for what the future will bring in terms of new aircraft designs, I'm hoping Boeing and Airbus use recent low sales and other failures as a catalyst to go back to the drawing board and start designing and making more interesting aircraft again like this HWB and a supersonic airliner instead of churning out updates of the old B737-B757 and A320-A350 airframes. Also Boeing and Airbus have been used to being the top dogs for too long, soon they will have to contend with chinese aircraft manufacturers and to some extent possibly updated russian-designed aircraft, I hope Boeing and Airbus don't stop innovating, that is usually a sign of a dying company
