Title: A Method for Designing Blended Wing-Body Configurations for Low Wave Drag
Abstract: A procedure for tailoring a blended wing-body configuration to reduce its computed wave drag is described. The method utilizes an iterative algorithm within the framework of first-order linear theory. Four computed examples are included. In each case, the zero-lift wave drag was reduced without an increase in drag due to lift.
