Watched a few shows on Discovery Wings
this weekend that were discussing the
superior lift and handling of a blended
wing body (BWB) design over a flying
wing and traditional wing/fuselage design...
The way I understand it, BWB works best for carrying payload that you
are at liberty to distribute spanwise. I think that glider pilots
generally prefer to be more discrete...
