Design of Blended Wing Body (BWB) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) engine nacelle / Asrul Azuwar Hashim

An engine nacelle is used to enclose the engine in a streamlined housing to improve the aerodynamics of the aircraft, to support and protect the engine and its component. For the preliminary of design the engine nacelle, an attempt to install the engine nacelle on the upper surface of the aircraft h...
