Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are the class of aircrafts that fly without on-board pilots. This is the most emerging technology advancement in the world. Blended wing bodies are the aircrafts in which the fuselage is integrated within the wings. However, a confluence of recognized needs and technological advancements over several years has brought about a marked change in perceived value of these blended wing bodies. The paper presents the conceptual design and analysis of blended wing UAV. The present work is a scale down approach to check the feasibility of these blended wing bodies as Transport and commercial aircrafts for the near future. The work aim is to develop a remote-controlled aircraft to take-off, maneuver, and land while carrying as much payload as possible. In this, the design of a blended wing aircraft is carried out based on the requirements using tradition approach. The design is then analyzed for aerodynamics and structural characteristics using ANSYS. A detail study was made and the selection materials to fabricate the aircraft are also suggested. A test aircraft was also fabricated [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
