A method for designing blended wing-body configurations for low wave drag

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

A procedure for tailoring a blended wing-body configuration to reduce its computed wave drag is described. The method utilizes an iterative algorithm within the framework of first-order linear theory. Four computed examples are included. In each case, the zero-lift wave drag was reduced without an increase in the drag due to lift. Barger, Raymond L. Langley Research Center RTOP 505-59-53-01...
