What are Lifting Body Aircraft? | Skill-Lync

A lifting body aircraft is an aircraft design where the lift required to raise the aircraft off the ground is produced solely by the fuselage. The initial research for these aircraft was done by NASA in the 60s with a focus on creating reusable space crafts.

The research was instrumental for the development of the space shuttle program and also helped determine the shape of the space shuttle. In this video, we talk about the 6 main prototypes that were developed and also on the progress of their design.
