Aerodynamic considerations of blended wing body aircraft
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of spanwise distribution on the aircraft aerodynamic efficiency were studied through an inverse twist design approach, combining both a low fidelity panel method and a high-fidelity Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solution method.

Sustainable air transport--on track in 2050
TL;DR: In this paper, a stabilization of the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere at 450 parts per million is assumed to constitute a sustainable level, and it is concluded that a refinement of the conventional turbofan aircraft is probably not sufficient to reach even the less demanding target level, even though a 40% reduction of fuel intensity may be achieved.

Spanwise Lift Distribution for Blended Wing Body Aircraft.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of spanwise lift distribution on aerodynamic efficiency for a blended wing body (BWB) configuration of a given baseline planform were analyzed using a high-fidelity aerodynamic model based on a multiblock structured grid Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solution.
