FW: Ford-men legends - Ford’s Flying Wing The Flying Flathead Prior to the Flying Wing design of the B-2 Stealth Bomber or the WWII German Horten, Ford built a tail-less Flying Wing aircraft powered by a Flathead. When the 75hp Ford Flathead V8 first came out in 1932, a special high performance batch of all-aluminum Flatheads were built that made 115hp. It was this special version that powered Ford’s new aircraft called the Ford Flivver 15P.
