Dual-fuselage aircraft having yawable wing and horizontal stabilizerAn aircraft configuration consisting of a pair of fuselages parallel to each other and connected by a main wing and a horizontal stabilizer which pivot on the fuselages is described. The pivotal attachment allows the wing 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 curved upward at the tips to compensate for any roll tendencies caused by its yawed position.
