This report describes the development of a novel structural solution that addresses the demanding fuselage loading requirements for the Hybrid Wing or Blended Wing Body configurations that are described in NASA NRA subtopic A2A.3, "Materials and Structures for Wing Components and Non-Circular Fuselage." The phase I portion of this task includes a comprehensive finite element model-based structural sizing exercise performed using the BWB airplane configuration to generate internal loads and fuselage panel weights for an advanced Pultruded Rod Stitched Efficient Unitized Structure (PRSEUS) structural concept. An accompanying element-level test program is also described which substantiates the analytical results and calculation methods used in the trade study. The phase II plan for the continuation of this research is also included herein.
