I misspoke (misspelled?). I should have written "flying wing," as in B-2 Stealth bomber, not "fixed wing."
If I remember correctly, the Germans had completed more research on flying wing aircraft, having functional prototypes towards the end of the war (the ultimate plan was to have a long-range bomber that could drop a nuke on New York City). After the war, there were plans on the Allied/American side to make passenger flying wing aircraft, but nothing ever came of that.
See, I know my history
