N2 - This research paper focuses on studying the long-term stability of a Blended Wing Body (BWB) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). The main focus of the analysis is on the effect of the position of the aircraft's center of gravity on its dynamic behavior. The paper also presents the development of a dynamic model that can be used for future analysis and the design of a controller for a BWB aircraft. The research makes use of the open-source software, namely, OpenVSP to create a model of a BWB configuration using a vortex lattice method (VLM) numerical simulation, which provides initial results for the aircraft's longitudinal stability derivatives. These results are then used to model the aircraft's dynamic response to a disturbance using MATLAB and Simulink. Overall, the goal of this research is to improve our understanding of the longitudinal dynamic stability of BWB aircraft and to provide tools for designing controllers and analyzing future design changes to the aircraft.
