Future Requirements and Concepts for Cabins of Blended Wing Body Configurations – a scenario-based approach
Oct 16th, 2003 | By admin | Category: EnvironmentWith a scenario of a strong aviation business growth of around 4,7% p.a. in the next thirty years passenger volumes will multiply by a factor of at least two-and-a-half until the year 2020 [1] and almost quadruple ten years later. To cope with such a high demand requires new aircraft configurations to ensure and improve operational efficiency, productivity and customer value in a highly competitive market environment. A promising future aircraft configuration for this purpose is the blended wing body (BWB) with a reasonable chance to enter the market by 2030. Scenarios for a promising future aircraft configuration. Research carried out by Stephan Eelman et al., TU München.
