Hybrid wing body as a low-noise aircraft from a multidisciplinary point of view

Kurzfassung

One important goal when reducing the environmental impact of an aircraft is the reduction of noise. There is a lot of potential for less noise impact when noise is a major objective from the beginning of the design phase. Within this contribution a hybrid wing body concept as a mid-range aircraft will be presented together with detailed studies of different disciplines like aerodynamics, acoustics structure and also handling qualities. How much noise reduction can be achieved? What are the advantages, where are the difficulties and weaknesses of such an aircraft configuration?
