| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
|
In the early 21st Century,
several major American defense contractors began investigating the
practicality of "Blended-Wing" aircraft designs. Combing the best
features of traditional and "flying-wing" style aircraft, "Blended-Wing"
planes had the potential to be far more fuel efficient -- as well as have
significantly more cargo capacity -- than current configurations. Both NASA and Boeing have Blended-Wing projects currently underway in both the civilian and military sectors. One such project is for a Blended-Wing Bomber (BWB) that could replace the B-2 Stealth later in the 21st Century. |
