Dunne originally worked at Great Britain’s Army Balloon Factory (precursor to Farnborough England’s center of aviation science and engineering). Forming the Blair Atholl Aeroplane Syndicate, Dunne began aircraft design in earnest. Ultimately creating the D.8 for stability in flight. A wing swept of 32° made it distinct as well as eliminating the requirement (and weight) of a tail structure. Wing camber increased away from the fuselage while incidence decreased with the wingtips washing out. Distance between the wings also reduced outboard. This was not a simple box kite-like design with its subtle though effective aerodynamic design details yielding excellent longitudinal st
