Abstract
A system for manufacturing modular aircraft includes at least at least a common tooling component, including at least one or more of a first component in a shape of a nose and a second component in a shape of a wing. The system further including at least a modular tooling component in a shape of a main body, wherein connecting the at least a common tooling components to the at least modular component forms a mold in a shape of at least a portion of a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft with no clear demarcation between the shape of the wing and a shape of a main body along an edge of the shape of the BWB.

A system for manufacturing modular aircraft, the system comprising:
- at least a common tooling component, comprising at least one or more of:
- a first component in a shape of a nose;
- and
- a second component in a shape of a wing;
- at least a modular tooling component in a shape of a main body, wherein connecting the at least a common tooling components to the at least modular component forms a mold in a shape of at least a portion of a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft with no clear demarcation between the shape of the wing and a shape of a main body along an edge of the shape of the BWB.
A system for manufacturing modular aircraft, the system comprising:
- at least a common tooling component, comprising at least one or more of:
- a first component in a shape of a nose;
- a second component in a shape of a wing;
- and
- a third component in a shape of a tail;
- at least a modular tooling component in a shape of a main body, wherein connecting the at least a common tooling components to the at least modular tooling component forms a mold in a shape of at least a portion of a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft with no clear demarcation:
- between the shape of a wing, and a shape of a main body along an edge of the shape of the BWB;
- and
- between the shape of a tail, and a shape of the main body along an edge of the shape of the BWB.
