In order for it to fly with wings this thin the wings likely would have to be angled. I can't imagine why someone would design something like this unless it was to make it solar powered to reduce drag for efficiency. So you would put solar cells on all the upper surfaces of the plane and wings to gather solar power. There are videos of a swiss solar powered plane that could take off and fly with 2 passengers on board. However, from the sound of the plane I saw it was jet powered. I reminded me a little of the Bell X-1 because the wings looked a little like that but the fuselage was more long and stretched out.intuitivefred888https://www.blogger.com/profile/03668560684200481313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622652574484898497.post-18366039969487207422012-04-16T15:22:47.644-07:002012-04-16T15:22:47.644-07:00I don't know if this is your video on Youtube ...I don't know if this is your video on Youtube or not, but it seems to match what you're discribing.<br />I saw the video and went googleing for an "airplane with extremely long fuselage and short wings" then your question came up.<br />Hope this helps.<br />Grtz.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xkF-aHYT3A&feature=relmfuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
