Blended wing
The concept plane is not as long as the A350, but it does have the
same wingspan. The designers say this will enable the Flying-V to use existing
infrastructure at airports, such as gates and runways, without difficulty, and
the aircraft will also fit into the same hangar as the A350. It will also carry
the same number of passengers (314) and the same volume of cargo, 160 m3. But
the Flying-V will be smaller, overall, than the A350, giving it less aerodynamic
resistance.
Thanks to Dutcher.
