- Abstract
The blended wing body (BWB) aircraft has a unique design. The main body and wing of BWB are merged to increase the lift force on the aircraft. However, BWB has poor stability arising from the absence of the tail. Hence, a small horizontal stabilizer called as canard has been incorporated in front of the main wing to improve BWB's stability. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations conducted to obtain the aerodynamics parameters of the BWB i.e. lift, drag and moment coefficients, showed that overall, the canard is beneficial to the BWB aerodynamics performance.
