Very small flying wing, with enclosed cockpit incorporated into tailfin. Wing was almost triangular, elevones and ailerons had inverted airfoil. Landing gear was non-retractable, skis used for winter trials.
Trials revealed good stability and response in flight envelope. Thanks to large fin, BICh-20 was very stable on takeoff and landing. Trials were performed with two types of light engines.
