A Linear Analysis of a Blended Wing Body (BWB)Aircraft Model

Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 3

Abstract

In this article a linear analysis of a Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft model is performed. The BWB concept is in the attention of both military and civil sectors for the fact that has reduced radar signature (in the absence of a conventional tail) and the possibility to carry more people. The trim values are computed, also the eigenvalues and the Jacobian matrix evaluated into the trim point are analyzed. A linear simulation in the MatLab environment is presented in order to express numerically the symbolic computations presented. The initial system is corrected in the way of increasing the consistency and coherence of the modeled type of motion and, also, suggestions are made for future work.
