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]

2025年1月5日 · The U.S. Air Force is collecting data from flight tests of a subscale version of its BWB (Blended-Wing Body) demonstrator to inform the full-scale aircraft’s control software and final ...

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.

1 天前 · JetZero has just announced it has chosen the legacy Pratt & Whitney PW2040 engine to power its demonstrator that is planned to fly in 2027.Ambitiously, JetZero plans for the blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft (called the Z4) to enter commercial service in 2030, although it remains unclear what engine it will have then.

2025年3月10日 · A blended wing body (BWB) aircraft is a design that merges the fuselage and wings into a single, smooth, aerodynamic structure. Unlike traditional aircraft, which have a distinct cylindrical fuselage and separate wings, BWB aircraft integrate these components, creating a more streamlined shape that offers several performance benefits.

2025年1月3日 · In August 2023, the Department of the Air Force tapped startup JetZero to build a prototype Blended-Wing Body (BWB) aircraft for testing and demonstrating new technologies. Nearly 18 months later, a service spokesperson offered one of the first updates to the project.
