Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyse the functionality of Flying Wing design by TU delft and KLM. Flying wing design is a design mainly used in military. This design was used for a strategic bomber which needed to have a long specific range while carrying a heavy payload. This design consists of a single wing which serves as well as a fuselage. This wing fuselage needs to meet airlines requirements.
Highlights
The air transport market where the air carriers are trying to find a compromise between the costs of operating, revenues and prices for the services provided, new types of more efficient engines, improved aerodynamic design or modifications in aircraft construction are entering the market
The engines will be located on the upper side of the wing in the rear, this design will allow up to 20% fuel savings on longdistance transport
The mobility of the new prototype is still questionable, but in terms of dimensions, it can be assumed that at airports that are certified for A350 aircraft, there should be no problem with normal aircraft movements on runways, taxiways and aprons intended for it
Summary
The air transport market where the air carriers are trying to find a compromise between the costs of operating, revenues and prices for the services provided, new types of more efficient engines, improved aerodynamic design or modifications in aircraft construction are entering the market. The largest share of the civil air traffic market is made of the aircrafts using a semi monocoque structural type of fuselage with a wing hinge at its root at the bottom of the fuselage without braced struts. The entire aircraft will consist of a single wing in which the crew, passengers, cargo and fuel will be located. The engines will be located on the upper side of the wing in the rear, this design will allow up to 20% fuel savings on longdistance transport
