FlightLab: The Future of Mobility Transport: Blended Wing Body Aircraft 14 June 2023 19:00 - 14 June 2023 20:00

The revolutionary Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft design, which promises to provide over 30% more aerodynamic efficiency than today’s tube-and-wing designs, is at an inflection point in its history. NASA, Defense Innovation Unit, and the Department of the Air Force are teaming up with industry to accelerate its development and flight-test a full-scale demonstration aircraft by 2027.

Listen to industry and government subject matter experts involved in its development discuss its progress, impact, and what to expect in its trajectory over the coming years.
