The Design

Blended Wing and Body Concept

The most inefficient part of an aircraft is its fuselage as it is the main contributor of drag to the vehicle. The blended body concept maximizes aerodynamic efficiency by combining the main wing and the fuselage into one entity, reducing drag and enabling the fuselage to contribute lift to the overall aircraft system. This results in a more optimized design allowing the aircraft to travel further faster, with more weight.
