Aircraft and methods of use for aerodynamic control with winglet surfaces

A method of using an aircraft for transonic flight comprising a fuselage extending to a back portion lacking a vertical tailfin, wherein the back portion comprises a first main body control surface and a second main body control surface;

• a propulsor configured to generate thrust;
• a first substantially swept wing having a first winglet extending beyond the back portion of the fuselage, the first winglet comprising a carbon-fiber composite with carbon fibers between 5-10 micrometers at a distal end of the wing, wherein the first winglet comprises at least a first control surface including a first trailing edge of the first winglet, wherein the fuselage and a leading edge of the first substantially swept wing creates a continuous curvilinear geometry and a second substantially swept wing having a second winglet extending beyond the back portion of the fuselage, the second winglet comprising a carbon-fiber composite with carbon fibers between 5-10 micrometers at a distal end of the wing, wherein the second winglet comprises at least a second control surface including a second trailing edge of the second winglet, wherein the fuselage and a leading edge of the second substantially swept wing creates a continuous curvilinear geometry, wherein the at least a first control surface and the at least a second control surface are independently movable and the at least a first control surface and the at least a second control surface each comprise at least two control surface segments, wherein each of the at least two control surface segments are independently positioned, the method comprising:
• driving, by a controller incorporated in the aircraft, at least a first actuator to move the at least a first control surface;
• driving, by the controller, at least a second actuator to move the at least a second control surface;
• and
• wherein an actuator of the at least first actuator and the at least second actuator comprises a pneumatic actuator.
