BWB X-Stream BT 3D model

The BWB X-Stream BT (Mid Top Wing) is a versatile 6-10 seater aircraft featuring an expanded fuselage for increased storage and cabin space. Its wider nose serves as a wing, and larger, flatter windows simplify fabrication. The wide fuselage incorporates internal semicircle reinforcements to handle pressurization. Tested for stability in XFLR5, this model's CG is calculated as if it were made of uniform foam material. Adding motors at the rear may shift the CG. A CAD file with specially positioned low-drag, low Reynolds number profiles is available. The design showcases various control surfaces and employs Fibonacci principles, using true aerofoil profiles on wings and fuselage. Low moment, low drag aerofoil ribs are included in the CAD file. Currently, engines have been omitted to focus on design aesthetics. BWB designs offer advantages like minimal wing tips, high load capacity, and potential for safe water landings. However, passengers may rely on screens for outside views due to limited window size. This model features a high poly and CAD files version of the design.
