The increasing severity of energy and environmental issues has put forward higher requirements for the rapidly developing global aviation industry. The blended-wing-body (BWB) configuration is expected to become one of the practically solutions for future civil aircraft due to its advantages such as high cruise efficiency and low flight noise, which has attracted widespread attention worldwide. This paper briefly reviews the development process and main progresses of BWB configuration development around the world. The advantages and challenges of BWB are analized. The critical technologies are summarized. The conclusion and future work are proposed that the design solution of BWB civil aircraft configuration needs to be further converged, as well as the prospects of the business and the market need to be carefully evaluated.

摘要

The increasing severity of energy and environmental issues has put forward higher requirements for the rapidly developing global aviation industry. The blended-wing-body (BWB) configuration is expected to become one of the practically solutions for future civil aircraft due to its advantages such as high cruise efficiency and low flight noise, which has attracted widespread attention worldwide. This paper briefly reviews the development process and main progresses of BWB configuration development around the world. The advantages and challenges of BWB are analized. The critical technologies are summarized. The conclusion and future work are proposed that the design solution of BWB civil aircraft configuration needs to be further converged, as well as the prospects of the business and the market need to be carefully evaluated.
