The Airbus MAVERIC (Model Aircraft for Validation and Experimentation of Robust Innovative Controls)[1] is an experimental blended wing body (BWB) unmanned aerial vehicle. It was built as a demonstrator for a possible full-scale BWB airliner. Airbus claims that this design can reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%.
