What is the best way to alter the structure of an aircraft to reduce drag and improve fuel-efficiency?
2. What is a possible answer to your working EQ?
By implementing blended wing body, an aircraft is able to produce lift across the whole structure reducing drag and weight factors allowing for improved fuel-efficiency.
3. What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
My most important source so far has been "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" from the Naval Aviations School Command because it introduced me to several physics concepts that affect an aircraft's flight performance and allowed me to better understand why structural changes, like they blended wing body, affect the craft's fuel efficiency.
4. Who is your mentor and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
I currently do not have a mentor anymore, but am looking hard to find a new one.
