Conceptual design of a Blended Wing Body aircraft

, 2022
[EN] This Final Degree Project proposal consists in the conceptual design of a Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft. This aircraft configuration aims to increase aerodynamic performance by removing the tail and incorporating an airfoil-shaped fuselage, which is then smoothly merged with some high aspect ratio outer wings similar to those present in ...

‘The Bethune College Sensation’: Gender, Archive and Radical Passivity

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the student protests at Bethune College, Calcutta, on 3 February 1928, against the Simon Commission, a British parliamentary delegation that excluded Indian representation. On this day, female students staged a quiet but radical act of defiance by refusing to attend classes, sign apologies or vacate their hostel, despite ...

Research on stability for blended-wing-body aircraft

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews
The primary goal of this research is to research the stability properties of a blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft. This section examines the assessment and selection of aircraft design parameters, planform design, and reflex wing and conducts a complete aircraft stability analysis. A BWB aircraft conceptual design has been completed and the design.

‘Fine Men from Afar’: Cricket and Empire on the Home Front

History, EarlyView.
Abstract During the Second World War, contrary to enduring images of bombardment and scarcity, people on Britain's ‘Home Front’ continued to take part in a broad array of sporting activities. Cricket played a more significant role in the wartime sporting landscape than many historians have previously recognized.

Sino‐Mexican Encounters Before the ‘Diplomatic Opening’: Exhibition Diplomacy and Grassroots Friendship in the 1960s

History, EarlyView.
Abstract During the 1960s, Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) embraced Chinese overtures for a commercial opening as consistent with its anti‐imperialist posture, thereby foreshadowing the diplomatic opening to China in 1972. Yet this professed ideological pluralism was eclipsed by an underlying allegiance to the United States' anti ...

The U.S. Air Force Next-Generation Air-Refueling System: A Resurgence of the Blended Wing Body?

Aerospace
The interest in flying wings dates as far as the early years of the aviation age. Early investigations of the feasibility of the concept demonstrated increased aerodynamic efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.

Working‐Class Muscles? Co‐Operative Gyms in Interwar Britain

History, EarlyView.
Abstract The Health & Strength League's network of co‐operative gymnasiums constituted one of interwar Britain's most significant yet overlooked physical culture institutions, affiliating over 800 gyms across Britain and Ireland by 1939. Drawing on Health & Strength magazine's editorial content and reader contributions, this article argues that these ...

Wing design for blended wing body airplane
航空宇宙技術研究所 7-9 Jun. 2000 東京 日本 National Aerospace Laboratory 7-9 Jun. 2000 Tokyo Japan 主翼胴体一体型(BWB)航空機は、従来機とは異なり主翼だけの航空機形態となっている。この特異な形態の優位性は、航空機の濡れ面積が小さく、従って理論的にL/D(揚抗比)が大きくなることである。この効果は、特大航空機では顕著に現れるが、BWB形態を利用することにより、中型機の効率を向上できる可能性があるかもしれない。この論文では、乗客200人乗りのBWB航空機の設計における設計方法および設計ツールについて論じた。主翼表面は、高速航空機パラメータ入力設計手法(RAPID)によって生成し、設計目標は ...

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.
