The Design and Construction of a Blended Wing Body UAV

49th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2011
Our team consists of eight students, all majoring in Aerospace Engineering. We developed and constructed a 5 meter wingspan, fully composite blended wing body aircraft. Our UAV is equipped with a full navigation and autopilot system to allow for autonomous flight.

Aerodynamic Studies for Blended Wing Body Aircraft

9th AIAA/ISSMO Symposium on Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization, 2002
This paper presents aerodynamic studies of a blended wing body (BWB) configuration within an European project, MOB. Firstly, the effects of spanwise distribution on the BWB aircraft aerodynamic efficiency were studied through an inverse design approach, combining both a low fidelity panel method and a high fidelity RANS method.

Blended-wing-body subsonic commercial transport

36th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 1998
The Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) airplane concept represents a potential revolution in subsonic transport efficiency for large airplanes. NASA has sponsored an advanced concept study to demonstrate feasibility and begin development of this new class of airplane. In this study, 800 passenger BWB and conventional configuration airplanes have been compared for

Aerodynamic Characteristics of the Blended Wing Body ACFA2020

2013
Unconventional aircraft like blended wing bodies are a possible solution to achieve the ambitious economic and ecologic goals of future air transport systems. Since flight control design and flight performance are strongly influenced by the aircraft aerodynamics, it is inevitable to have accurate aerodynamic predictions even in the preliminary design ...

Blended-wing-body optimization problem setup

8th Symposium on Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization, 2000
This paper shows how the Wing Multidisciplinary Optimization Design (WingMOD) code is used to reconfigure and balance a Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) aircraft. Details are given on how a BWB optimization problem is set up in WingMOD, including how a series of optimizations is used to calibrate WingMOD to external analyses.

The Effect of Canard on Aerodynamics of Blended Wing Body

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2011
This paper describes the wind tunnel testing of a Blended Wing Body (BWB) with rectangular canards and twisted wing (Baseline II E2 configuration) developed in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). The experiment work was carried out in UiTM low speed wind tunnel using 1:6 scaled model of BWB at Mach 0.1.
