This is a video I took of the A380 and A340 during the Farnborough Airshow 2006. They do some pretty incredible maneuvers considering how big they are.
A flying wing wouldn't be able to meet safety requirements to achieve certification. You would never be able to evacuate that many people from the aircraft in time...
look at the banking angle of the A380 at 1:41
