Popis: As part of the search for the next future airliner configuration, and to mitigate the negative impact of air travels on the environment, there have been renewed interests in the aircraft design of unconventional configurations such as the Blended Wing Body and Joined Wing aircraft concepts. The Joined/Box-Wing aircraft configuration attracted the attention of researchers due to its claimed merits of reduced structural weight and low induced drag.
