I recently wrote an article on blended-wing aircraft as the latest installment of a series looking at hydrogen-powered vehicles on land, sea, and air,

Some highlights I got while researching and writing.

1) Blended-wings body (BWB) aircraft are not new. The concept is making a comeback because of the search for net-zero flight.

#US #AirForce says it has picked aviation startup #JetZero to design and build a full-size demonstrator aircraft with a #BlendedWingBody or BWB, configuration. The goal is for the #aircraft, which has already received the informal moniker #XBW1, to be flying by 2027. It could help inform requirements for the Next-Generation Air Refueling System (#NGAS) and Next-Generation Airlift (#NGAL) programs, which the Air Force is still in the process of refining.
