Hey, super machine, quick question: are hang gliders considered to be "flying wings" like the stealth bomber? They usually don't have tails, after all.

You're right that hang gliders typically have no tail structures and their wing shape is similar to that of many flying wing aircraft. However, the payload (the passenger or passengers) of a hang glider is carried below the wing structure rather than within it. In strict definitional terms, that means they don't qualify as flying wing aircraft.
