Which is why airliners are generally tubes, easy peasy engineering. The B2 has pressurized irregular sections, as does the F117.

No wonder the thing Dutch rolls, diehederal on a flying wing with tip rudders is the cause. The parts fight each other. Look at the concorde, XB49, N9M, B2: no tip rudders. The B2 wobbles because the surfaces don't move as fast as they needed. Physics,, baby.
