How can u control a one-winged plane,( for example the xb-49),for yaw, the turning from side to side?

Usually on a normal plane it will have flaps on the tail to turn it but on a one-winged plane thats not possible because it has no tail its just one wingHow can u control a one-winged plane,( for example the xb-49),for yaw, the turning from side to side?wrong



the yaw control input is just used for stabilising the turn, rather than inducing it.



the initial control input to induce the turn is performed through ailerons.



the flying wings /b2, xb49/ use combined ailerons air brakes and flaps at either half of the wing to control the movement.



basically if you were to use the rudder of a common plane, the B2 would open the control surface of the wing "into" the turn so it would produce increased drag and immitate the function of rudder.How can u control a one-winged plane,( for example the xb-49),for yaw, the turning from side to side?Why not ask the famous plane designer who designed %26amp; flew all of those funny looking aicraft---Burt Rutan? He could help ya, I bet. Good luck!
