World's first flight by "flapless" aircraft

Read more at http://swns.com. British engineers have developed the world's first ''flapless'' plane - that uses hundreds of tiny AIR JETS to control its movements. The DEMON uses output from the jets to control airflow over the plane, manipulating lift and drag without using traditional flapping mechanisms to steer. Its developers believe the technology could revolutionise the stealth capabilities of military aircraft by reducing edges and gaps that can be picked up on radar.
