CFD analysis of bwb aircraft model with elevator deflection of +5(downward) at similar Reynolds and Mach number with wind tunnel test / Muhamad Hafiz Abd Malek

Blended Wing Body or BWB is a hybrid shape that mainly resembles a flying wing, but also incorporates some features of a conventional airliner. This design also known as a new concept in aircraft design. The advantages occur in BWB is more related on aerodynamic design and this paper will discuss an...
