01 - Aircraft Design and Integrated SystemsSINGLE-AISLE AIRLINER DISRUPTION WITH A SINGLE-DECK BLENDED-WING-BODYM.A. Page¹, E.J. Smetak¹, S.L. Yang¹; ¹DZYNE Technologies Incorporated, United States The Blended Wing Body (BWB) offers 35% less fuel-burn, 80% lower emissions, and 40dB less noise than today’s best airliners. Current double-deck BWB designs are impractical below 200 seats, leaving them out of 75% of the airliner market. A key enabling technology has been identified that allows single deck BWBs to overcome this barrier and access the single-aisle market. |
