@TheDA2345 In addition to that, having passenger seats far away from the aircraft center line would give those passengers a lot more motion during banked turns. So probably using it mostly for cargo would be the bright thing to do. But even still, it would be a very interesting and efficient aircraft.
@roidroid Delta wings are very inefficient, and extremely unstable at low speeds. Its part of the reason the Concorde was cancelled. Blended wing bodies get massive amounts of lift, have low stall speeds, better handling, and they slip through the air easier.
@NelielTuOderswank what about a flying wing design such as the Northrop YB-49 or RQ-170 Sentinel, arn't they more efficient than a blended wing?
It just seems to me that a blended wing is specifically designed to be a middlepoint inbetween other more fundamentalist designs. It seems to be trying to preserve as much of the advantages of delta, flying wing, and traditional tube fuselage designs. It's performance will not be as groundbreaking, but will be better rounded. Yes?
@roidroid Flying wings are very, very inefficient. Furthermore it requires an unconventional far backward center of gravity, which results in poor stability. Flying wings are naturally unstable on every axis. Even with vertical stabilizers, their usefulness is greatly diminished because they are so close to the center of gravity. The amount of drag you have to create to stabilize a flying wing outweighs the loss in drag of being just a wing.
@NelielTuOderswank If they're naturally unstable on every axis, how come reflexed airfoil plank style wings can be trimmed to be dynamically stable? Almost everything you've said is incorrect and can be proven with just a little bit of research. Low pitching moment washed out flying wings are very efficient. I'd love to see you stand up in front of a bunch of professional aero engineers and present your beliefs.
@roidroid Furthermore, a blended wing body is nothing like a flying wing. Its not truly a blend of a conventional aircraft and a flying wing, but of a conventional aircraft and "Lifting body". The entire aircraft is in the shape of an airfoil, with higher aspect wing ratios the further you get from the center of gravity, which results in massive amounts of lift, efficiency, and stability. Not to mention on a blended wing body the winglets double as the vertical stabilizers.
Not sure how I would feel flying in one of those bad boys. Instead of two or three rows, there would be maybe 10? 15? Anyway, nine non-window rows would freak some people out. For me, I think I would have to actually fly in one to know how I felt.
that is perfect, those wings are reflecting te rebond of the plane.
I like so much our open mind to everything is in movement right now, it is a Boom to the évolution and since the last we learn a lot...still more to come i think we will be stunt about the next few months !
You're an idiot if you think most black project saucer design crafts are thought to be alien by people who investigate them. That 'conspiracy nut' label gets slapped on people so their claims/statements about the real world vehicles don't seem to hold any ground. Makes it easy for others to not beiieve them and think they're just "nuts".
I've thought this was a really beautiful design since I first saw it a while back. My understanding is that it will also be able to carry far more passengers than jets we have now.
This model looks great in the air, and seems to handle very, very well. Can't wait to see the real ones in the air!
looks like a kite.

This is just another way for conspiracist to say they saw a flying saucer.... There gunna see it and gonna say OMG FLYING SAUCER ALIENS!

why not just use a full delta wing design?
isn't that where it's all at?

That is most interesting, especially that it is more energy efficient than the standard form, tube and wing.

cool new design for the new shuttle
have always wondered why this design hadn't been used in the past-it wold allow the plane fly higher and faster than todays
