The Navy has built a modern version of the tumblehome that utilizes computers to aid in stability, much like the Air Force used computers to transform a flying wing — the B-2 bomber — into a stable aircraft. “The technology today makes that concept doable and much more efficient,” Polmar said.

So what happens if the onboard computer stabilization system is knocked out, either in combat or by electrical failure?
