The Northrop YB-35 was an experimental, propeller-driven flying wing heavy bomber developed for the United States Army Air Forces during and shortly after World War II. It was a radical design for its era, conceived by aviation pioneer Jack Northrop, with the aim of creating a highly efficient, long-range strategic bomber.
