Tailless aircraft constructed by Short Brothers and Harland, Belfast; all moving wing tip control surface is used in place of conventional trailing edge surfaces normally serving as elevents; it is intended for investigating behavior at low speeds of "Aero-isoclinic" wing which retains constant angle of incidence at wing tips under bending loads, and is particularly suitable for military aircraft for long range flights at high altitude, yet able to maneuver at high speed at low altitude.
