<hi style=afpcap>The underside view of the Northrop B-35 flying wing shows clearly the position of the four Pratt and Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major engines which were designed to drive pusher contra rotating propellers. The design eliminated the fuselage and tail surfaces thereby significantly reducing drag as almost every part of the craft was a contributor to its weight lifting ability. The B-35 had a wingspan of 172 feet, and a range of more than 10,000 miles. Two YB-35s were fitted with eight Allison J35 engines buried deep in the wing as the prototype YB-49. </hi>
