The Stout Batwing was a low aspect ratio flying wing aircraft designed by William Bushnell Stout. The aircraft was the first example of wood veneer construction on American aircraft and an early practical example of thick wing or blended wing fuselage design. The internally braced wing was also one of the first American aircraft designed without drag-producing struts. The thick wing design would later be applied to a series of Stout aircraft leading to the Ford Trimotor.
