Abstract
An aircraft is provided that is convertible in flight between a rotary wing configuration and a fixed wing configuration. In its fixed wing configuration the aircraft resembles a Blended Wing Body (BWB) having a swept wing angle β. Conversions from the fixed wing configuration to the rotary wing configuration, and vice versa, are accomplished by flipping an outboard portion of one wing through 180° to reorient the leading edge of the outboard portion by an angle of 2β to establish a reverse sweep. In its rotary configuration, the entire aircraft is rotated.
