A blended wing body (BWB), also known as blended body, hybrid wing body (HWB) or a lifting aerofoil fuselage, [1] is a fixed-wing aircraft having no clear dividing line between the wings and the main body of the craft. [2] The aircraft has distinct wing and body structures, which are smoothly blended together with no clear dividing line. [3]

The U.S. Air Force has selected innovative aerospace startup JetZero and Northrop Grumman to design, build and fly a full-scale blended wing body aircraft (BWB), which aims to demonstrate enhanced capabilities for improved efficiency, endurance and cargo capacity on multi-mission military and commercial platforms.

2023年8月17日 · The US Air Force has awarded JetZero a $235-million contract to produce a blended-wing body (BWB) full-scale prototype aircraft. The BWB platform features an architecture that combines the body directly with its high-aspect-ratio wing to increase lift and decrease aerodynamic drag by 30 percent.

2025年1月5日 · JetZero is working on the subscale BWB aircraft demonstrator, named “Pathfinder,” while Northrop Grumman’s Scaled Composites division is fabricating the full-size airplane and has already...

从技术角度分析，翼身融合（BWB）飞机相比传统管翼飞机，综合高展弦比机翼与宽翼型机身的双重优势，能够在机身全跨度上产生升力，同时最大限度减小阻力，使飞机获得更远的航程、更长的滞空时间、更有效的运输载荷。 也因此，理论上来说翼身融合飞机对比传统飞机更省油，起飞时需要的滑跑距离也将缩短。 然而，以上看似简单的概念表述要转化为实际的工程设计仍具有极大的挑战性，其种种理论上的优势最终能否实现仍是一个未知数。 Jet Zero翼身融合验证机空中加油 …

2023年8月17日 · The Department of the Air Force announced the selection of JetZero for the next phase of a blended wing body prototype aircraft project on August 16, 2023. The effort aims to mature BWB technology

2023年8月17日 · The U.S. Air Force is moving forward with plans for developing a blended-wing body (BWB) prototype aircraft capable of extended range, reduced fuel requirements, and increased payload delivery. On Wednesday the Air Force awarded California aerospace company JetZero $235 million aimed to hasten the development of BWB aircraft designs both for ...

2023年8月17日 · With a design that differs from a traditional tube-and-wing aircraft, the BWB blends the aircraft body into its high-aspect-ratio wing, decreasing aerodynamic drag by at least 30% and providing additional lift.

BWB fabrica y comercializa distintos componentes automotrices, como bombas de aceite y bombas de agua, válvulas entre otros.
