Would it be possible to design an aircraft to fly forwards OR BACKWARDS equally well? It`s a question from my mate`s little boy who is hot on aerodynamics and we will try and work it out. I am thinking fixed-wing,glider to start off just to keep it simple. Perhaps a push-me pull-you canard with a h-stab at both ends. And could a piloted version change direction (ahead to astern) IN FLIGHT?
Gratefull for any thoughts,children ask such awkward Q`s,Jerry
