This astonishing glider was conceived by the Turkish Aeronautical Association in the late-1940s. Out of the Blue they produced this neat wood and fabric tail-less marvel, an aircraft “in tone” with Horten and Northrop, in a very modest way. First flown in 1948, the unique example had a hazardous short life punctuated by various accidents. Some aerodynamic problems surfaces and changes were made to its rudders. The Turkish were so proud of it they took the prototype to the 1949 Paris Air Show. Sadly, interests soon went elsewhere.
Handsome it was. No cockpit canopy was installed to aid in case of emergency exit.
Aviation Rapture 
Oh Nurflügel, so many have tried, but only Jack Northrop triumphed!
Reimar Horten had his fair number of successes too…
But Jack is the only one to go into somewhat wide scale production! If only Reimar would have gone to the US instead of Argentina.
Somewhat…. Reimar Horten built around 50 without the industrial capabilities of Jack Northrop.
Nobody asked him it seems…
