Vance Viking
The Vance Viking, also called the Vance Flying Wing Express, and the Texas Sky Ranger, was a single seat, cargo and racing aircraft.
==Design and development==
Vance founded the Vance Aircraft Corporation to build the "Flying Wing" design.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://truckeehistory.org/historyArticles/history31.htm )〕 The aircraft was designed though a series of hand-carved wooden models before drawings were made, with the intention of it being a high speed, high altitude air-freighter with storage in thick wing lockers. Its short air racing history was interrupted by the 1932 death of its designer Clare Vance who struck a fog-covered mountain at Rocky Ridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.century-of-flight.net/Aviation%20history/flying%20wings/early%20US%20flying%20wings.htm )〕
The "Flying Wing" was a conventional long-range aircraft for the period with the exception of the two large booms aft of the cockpit supporting the twin tail surfaces and twin rudders, rather than a conventional fuselage. The tandem seat aircraft was converted to a single pilot aircraft that featured a radial engine, conventional landing gear (one tailwheel for each boom). Fourteen fuel tanks totaling were interconnected inside the cantilevered mid-wing. The aircraft was of mixed construction, with an aluminum-covered welded steel tube fuselage. The wing used wooden wing spars with plywood covering. A forced air induction system was built into the wing roots with exhausts mounted near the trailing edges.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.century-of-flight.net/Aviation%20history/flying%20wings/early%20US%20flying%20wings.htm )〕
