Zusammenfassung: | A blended wing aircraft reduces forward, aft, and sideline flyover noise and heat energy by reflecting it upward using the wing and vertical stabilizers positioned just outboard of the engines. The engines are located on top of the wing and forward of the trailing edge of the wing with the aft portion of the engines located over the wing. The nozzle exit perimeter is increased and shaped to increase shear and create vortices to move noise generation over the wing to cause the noise to be reflected upward off the wing and upward off of the canted vertical stabilizers. Engine thrust reversers cause the forwardly mounted engine's thrust to be directed toward the front of the aircraft in such a way as to create a download forward of the main landing gear to also secure the front landing gear. |
