摘要： Apparatus and methods provide for an aircraft configuration that utilize structural and engine exhaust flow control devices to enhance performance. Aspects of the disclosure provide a fuselage with a pressure vessel nested within a non-cylindrical outer mold line fairing. A twin-boom empennage may be connected to the fuselage. A wing may attach in a blended wing configuration with a sweep angle that positions the aircraft center of lift to minimize any pitching moment induced by the activation or deactivation of an upper surface blown (USB) system. The USB system may include a conformal USB flap positioned downstream of an engine exhaust plume, as well as a controllable USB nozzle aperture to promote exhaust flow attachment to the conformal USB flap. A universal convergent nozzle may be utilized to connect each controllable USB nozzle aperture to a corresponding internally mounted aircraft engine.
