That first prototype, registered X-216H, had evolved from earlier design studies but was not yet a true flying wing as it retained a tail unit comprising twin rudders with a single <a href="/wiki/Horizontal_stabilizer" class="mw-redirect" title="Horizontal stabilizer">horizontal stabilizer</a> running between them; both rudders were connected by twin booms to the thick, all-wing blended <a href="/wiki/Fuselage" title="Fuselage">fuselage</a>. The aircraft had an open cockpit in the center wing section and single, rear-facing, <a href="/wiki/Pusher_propeller" class="mw-redirect" title="Pusher propeller">pusher propeller</a> connected to a <a href="/wiki/Cirrus_aero_engines#American_Cirrus_Engines_(ACE)" title="Cirrus aero engines">Menasco Cirrus</a> inverted-four piston engine blended into the all-wing shape.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> X-216H was first flown in 1929 with Edward Bellande at the controls;<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the aircraft displayed adequate performance and was noted for its unique all-metal stressed skin and multi-cellular construction. At about this same time, Jack Northrop became aware of <a href="/wiki/Walter_and_Reimar_Horten" class="mw-redirect" title="Walter and Reimar Horten">Walter and Reimar Horten</a>'s record-setting "tailless" flying wing glider designs being tested in Germany beginning in 1934.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The N-1M was one of a progression of experimental aircraft that further developed Northrop's all-wing concept. The aircraft was produced in the United States and was developed during 1939 and 1940 as a flying testbed for the purpose of proving Jack Northrop's vision of a practical Flying Wing. Built mostly of specially laminated layers of glued wood, the design of both wooden wings allowed for easy configuration changes with the central blended fuselage, which was made of tubular steel. The aircraft first flew on 3 July 1941 at <a href="/wiki/Muroc,_California" title="Muroc, California">Baker Dry Lake</a> in California.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>N 1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Operational_history">Operational history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Northrop_N-1M&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Operational history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Northrop's Chief Test Pilot Vance Breese flew the N-1M on its maiden flight, unexpectedly bouncing into the air during a planned high-speed taxi run. He reported that the aircraft could fly no higher than five feet. Flight could only be sustained by maintaining a precise <a href="/wiki/Angle_of_attack" title="Angle of attack">angle of attack</a>, but <a href="/wiki/Theodore_von_K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n" title="Theodore von Kármán">Theodore von Kármán</a> solved the problem by making adjustments to the trailing edges of the elevons. Control of the aircraft was achieved through the use of a system of <a href="/wiki/Elevon" title="Elevon">elevons</a> and wingtip rudders. The elevons served in tailless type aircraft both as elevators and <a href="/wiki/Ailerons" class="mw-redirect" title="Ailerons">ailerons</a>, while split flaps on the downward angled wingtips took the place of a conventional rudder; they were later straightened after that angle proved unnecessary during flight testing.<sup id="cite_ref-XY_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-XY-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The flight test program continued with Moye W. Stephens, Northrop Test Pilot and Secretary to the Northrop Corporation, serving as a test pilot. Early tests showed the N-1M to be satisfactory in stability and control, but overweight and underpowered. The aircraft's two 65-horsepower (48 kW) Lycoming O-145 four-cylinder engines (buried in the wing to reduce drag) were replaced by two 120-horsepower (89 kW) six-cylinder 6AC264F2 air-cooled Franklin engines. By November 1941, after 28 flights, Stephens reported that when attempting to move the N-1M about its vertical axis, the aircraft had a tendency to "<a href="/wiki/Dutch_roll" title="Dutch roll">Dutch roll</a>." The oscillations proved to be manageable when adjustments were made to the aircraft's wing configuration.<sup id="cite_ref-XY_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-XY-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The N-1M proved to be basically sound, paving the way for Northrop's later and much larger <a href="/wiki/Northrop_YB-35" title="Northrop YB-35">Northrop YB-35</a> and <a href="/wiki/Northrop_YB-49" title="Northrop YB-49">YB-49</a> aircraft. The aircraft was donated to the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army_Air_Forces" title="United States Army Air Forces">United States Army Air Forces</a> in 1945 and was placed in the storage collection of the National Air Museum the following year. It sat there for nearly three decades, but was brought back to static, non-flying status, in its final flight configuration, after several years of restoration during the 1980s.
