The U.S. Air Force will invest $235 million to help a start-up manufacturer build a jet with a blended-wing body that officials say could provide greater range and efficiency for military tankers and cargo planes and perhaps eventually be used to carry airline passengers.
Oh interesting, what is the different? Blended wing has more of a fuselage?
Exactly. The flying wing is a pretty specific design but the blended wings have a much broader spectrum of wing to fuselage ratio.
