An aircraft has been designed that consists of a pair of fuselages arranged in parallel and coupled together by a main wing and a horizontal stabilizer which are pivotally attached to the fuselages. The pivotal attachment allows the airfoils to be yawed relative to the fuselages for high speed flight while at the same time pivotally attached to the fuselages. The pivotal attachment allows the airfoils to be yawed relative to the fuselages for high speed flight while at the same time spreading the weight and volume distribution of the aircraft along the direction of flight. The main wing is upwardly curved at the ends to compensate for any roll tendency caused by its yawed positioning.
