The concept of a Forward Swept Joined Wing proposed in the category Efficiency unites the following features:
- non-planar wing system (low induced drag)
- Strunard (Strut + Canard); supports the main wing strucutrally; acts as lifting surface; is loaded by tensile stresses
- no vertical stabilizer (reduces weight and friction drag)
- short and thereby light landing gear due to high-mounted engines
- highly efficient flight control system
