    5) E-commerce is also a driving force in the comeback of BWB.

    6) Finally, the most surprising find: BWBs have to be big if they carry humans.

    Legacy aircraft manufacturers sell different-sized passenger airplanes and don't want to invest in a format that can not deliver medium size planes.

    2) BWB has more lift and less drag, which allows a more efficient flight with less energy consumption.
    3) On the other hand, they come with challenges in flight stability and structural design.
    4) Startups are pursuing BWB, one of them with a contract from the US Air Force to make transport and tanker planes.

    I recently wrote an article on blended-wing aircraft as the latest installment of a series looking at hydrogen-powered vehicles on land, sea, and air,

    Some highlights I got while researching and writing.

    1) Blended-wings body (BWB) aircraft are not new. The concept is making a comeback because of the search for net-zero flight.

  16. #US #AirForce says it has picked aviation startup #JetZero to design and build a full-size demonstrator aircraft with a #BlendedWingBody or BWB, configuration. The goal is for the #aircraft, which has already received the informal moniker #XBW1, to be flying by 2027. It could help inform requirements for the Next-Generation Air Refueling System (#NGAS) and Next-Generation Airlift (#NGAL) programs, which the Air Force is still in the process of refining.

  21. Jetzero received funding from the US Air Force to develop a Blended Wing Body. There are concepts to use it in civil aircraft, too. This might change how we fly. 🛫

  23. @phil_s @SheDrivesMobility #BlendedWingBody ist vor allem deshalb doof, weil es dazu verleitet, die Tragflächen bis in die Spitzen mit Sitzplätzen vollzustopfen. Und wenn du ganz außen in der Tragflächenspitze sitzt, und der Vogel macht eine leichte Rollbewegung, um eine Kurve zu fliegen, tja...
