Blended wing body aircraft

A blended wing body aircraft comprising:

• an airfoil shaped center body;
• and
• a pair of wings extending from opposed sides of the center body;
• wherein the aircraft has a maximum chord length defined longitudinally by the center body;
• wherein the aircraft has a span direction, and a maximum half-span length defined along the span direction from a centerline of the center body to a tip of one of the wings;
• wherein a normalized half-span value for each profile section of the aircraft is defined by a ratio between a distance along the span direction from the centerline to the profile section, and the maximum half-span length;
• wherein each profile section of the aircraft has a normalized chord defined by a ratio between a chord length of the profile section and the maximum chord length, the normalized chord having a nominal value within the normalized chord range set forth in Table 1 for at least each profile section corresponding to the normalized half-span values from 0.15 to 0.3;
• and
• wherein a ratio between a maximum thickness of the center body at the centerline and the chord length along the centerline has a nominal value of at least 16%.
