Fergus - apparently the directionality of a loop is not quite as
strong as one would assume. The "Morris Loop" has been around for a
while; see info at:

The author reckons that the theoretical null abeam may not be a real
disadvantage in practice. It's certainly another interesting
possibility for composite fuselages.
