Overview: New, unconventional aircraft configurations like the blended wing-body (BWB) are expected to significantly improve the economic efficiency of future air-transport. In order to investigate potential improvements and to predict major design challenges of this new class of aircraft the modeling and analysis capabilities of the in-house aircraft design tool of the IFL, PrADO, have been adapted to the BWB requirements. In this paper the methods used and the modeling and analysis capabilities of the improved, BWB-specific PrADO-system are described.
