Optimization of Supersonic Aircraft Wing-Box using Curvilinear SpaRibs
… curvilinear spars and ribs, termed SpaRibs, to design supersonic aircraft wing-box in comparison to the use of classic design concepts that employ straight spars and ribs. The intent is to achieve a more efficient load-bearing mechanism and to passively control aeorelastic behavior of the …
