A 350-passenger BWB with a distributed propulsion system configuration is carried out and its aerodynamic performance in cruising and taking off are analyzed and discussed. It is shown from computation that the integrated configuration has a commendable aerodynamic performance in cruising and taking off. The cruise lift to drag ratio is reach to 24.0 in cruising. The ingestion effect of the propulsion system leads to a high lift at a low speed. The maximum lift coefficient CLmax is 1.62 when α=20° in taking off. In addition, the ingestion also delays the flow separation on the upper surface of center body, which contributes to a well stall performance of the configuration at large angle of attack.
