The pre-design of a 450 passenger blended wing body aircraft is finished. Major objectives for aircraft efficiency were achieved. | ACFA 2020 Blended Wing Body Design |
Dynamic models are forming the basis for the controller design. For the large NACRE blended wing body aircraft the generation of dynamic models based on a refined Finite Element Model and aerodynamic data. | Refined Finite Element Model for NACRE Blended Wing Body Aircraft |
In order to reduce turbulence induced structural vibrations an adaptive feedforward control concept of EADS-IW is verified by flight tests with the ATTAS aircraft of DLR. Information from a flight log sensor at the nose boom is used to compensate structural vibrations caused by turbulences. |
