The Northrop N-1M (Northrop Model 1 Mockup), [1] also known by the nickname "Jeep", [1] is a retired American experimental aircraft used in the development of the flying wing concept by Northrop Aircraft during the 1940s.

John K. "Jack" Northrop designed the N-1M (N for Northrop, 1 for 1st model, M for mockup). It was a company-funded project that became the first entirely all-wing aircraft designed, built, and flown in the USA.

The Northrop N-1 (Northrop Model 1) was a projected flying wing medium bomber designed by Jack Northrop.

Aug 18, 2021 · Northrop designated the new vehicle as the N-1M (M for Mockup), an internally funded project that contained many unique features, built specifically for flight testing. The drooped wingtips could be manually adjusted on the ground to different angles in order to test stability of the airframe.

John K. "Jack" Northrop designed the N-1M (N for Northrop, 1 for 1st model, M for mockup). It was a company-funded project that became the first entirely all-wing aircraft designed, built, and flown in the USA.

The N1-M was one of the prototypes developed by Northrop to refine flying wing design. This work eventually led to the XB-35 and XB-49 all-wing bombers that lost out to the B-36 in the competition for a long range strategic bomber for the USAF.
