The BWB design minimizes aerodynamic drag by eliminating the traditional fuselage-wing junction, allowing the entire aircraft body to contribute to lift.
BWB aircraft can achieve fuel savings of 30%, which is significant for an industry striving to lower carbon emissions.
The design integrates the payload into the wing structure, increasing internal volume and weight efficiency. This enables BWB aircraft to carry more passengers or cargo for a given wingspan.
The aerodynamic efficiency of BWB aircraft allows them to fly longer distances on the same amount of fuel, making them suitable for a variety of routes and reducing the frequency of refueling stops.
The unique engine placement mounted above and towards the rear of the airframe helps deflect engine noise up and away from the cabin resulting in less cabin noise.
The wider cross-section provides greater flexibility for cabin configurations.
