Handling Qualities of a Blended Wing Body Aircraft [PDF]
AIAA Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference, 2011 The blended wing body (BWB) is a tailless aircraft with the potential to use 27% less fuel than a conventional aircraft with the same passenger capacity and range. The primary purpose of the current study was to determine the handling qualities of the BWB, using piloted-handling trials in a moving-base simulator.

An alternative approach to induced drag reduction
Aviation, 2021 Induced drag constitutes approximately 40% of the total drag of subsonic civil transport aircraft at cruise conditions. Various types of winglets and several non-planar concepts, such as the C-wing, the joined wings, and the box plane, have been proposed

Conceptual Design and Evaluation of Blended-Wing Body Aircraft
2018 AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 2018 Blended wing body (BWB) aircraft represent a paradigm shift in jet transport aircraft design that promise benefits over conventional aircraft. A method is presented to enable the conceptual design of BWB aircraft, enabling comparison studies with tube-and-wing aircraft (TAW) based on the same top-level requirements and analysis fidelity.

Modal Analysis Of Blended Wing-Body UAV
Jurnal Teknologi Kedirgantaraan, 2021 The modal analysis deals with the dynamic behavior of mechanical structures under the dynamic vibration. This study aims to analyze the vibration characteristic of the blended wing-body Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using modal analysis. The numerical method is used to calculate the eigen frequencies of the system.
