The effect of landing gear implementation on Flying V aerodynamics, stability and controllability

Initially conceptualised by Benad in 2015 as a highly swept flying wing aircraft to replace the A350-900, the Flying V design has since been refined in several later studies at both Airbus and TU Delft. The initial aerodynamic efficiency gain estimation was refined by Faggiano and Rubio-Pascual, confirming the interest of the solution. To...
