Abstract
Besides Blended wing body (BWB)’s excellent aerodynamics advantages such as high integration and small wetted area, there are a series of challenges that need to be and solved, such as airframe trim, stall and tremor, landing attitude and other issues. In this paper, through the establishment of a circular-wing aircraft, comprehensively borrowing the concepts of BWB and Coanda effect, an improvement plan is proposed for a series of problems involved in wing-body fusion. Through this we can solve the problem of insufficient lift of the BWB layout in take-off and landing and further increase the range. And only flaps and rings are used for aircraft leveling and flight torque because of the Coanda effect. By the above advantages, we assumed the case as an anti-submarine aircraft and a transport aircraft.
