Weight assessment for a blended wing Body-Unmanned aerial vehicle implementing boundary layer ingestion

Abstract: Abstract. Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) has been studied extensively for implementation in Blended Wing Body (BWB) transport aircrafts, and it has been reported that BLI offers potential benefits mainly in terms of energy, improving the propulsive efficiency of a propulsion system and reducing the fuel consumption. This paper examines potential benefits of BLI related with a reduction on the Take-Off Gross Weight (TOGW) for a BWB-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). It is discussed the methodology for weight estima… Show more

“…After analyzing the results of both VTOL and HTOL, the designers of the UAV settled on GFRP-S-UD as the material to use for the construction of the final version of the vehicle. This was due to the fact that the material has excellent load-bearing capacities [12,[14][15][16][17]. As can be shown in Table 7, the upgraded HBWB UAV that has been proposed possesses a number of advantageous characteristics.…”

“…After conducting an analysis of regular HBWB UAV, the authors came to the conclusion that this type of UAV is structurally unsuitable for the blended wing body. As a result, they built advanced HBWB UAV, which they intend to deploy for targeted missions [12,[14][15][16][17].…”

“…For every wing section, it is estimated the corresponding weight and the total wing weight for a BWB is a summation of wing sections weight. E.A Valencia [13] used this empirical equation for weight assessment of a blended wing body-unmanned aerial vehicle.…”

“…To validate the new proposed method, the empty weight estimation results were compared against the actual values from available in-service UCAVs [14][15][16][17][18]. Moreover, the structural weight estimated was validated against some previous case study researches [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
