Wing Optimization Technique Based on Vortex Lattice Theory
<p>An integrated aerodynamic optimization technique based on vortex lattice theory is being proposed. The technique in this work will aim at optimizing the geometric parameters of a general wing with NACA 65-210 airfoil sections under a low speed aerodynamic regime. This will be completed by …

EBF3GLWingOpt: A Framework for Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Wings Using SpaRibs
A global/local framework for multidisciplinary optimization of generalized aircraft wing structure has been developed. The concept of curvilinear stiffening members (spars, ribs and stiffeners) has been applied in the optimization of a wing structure. A global wing optimization framework …
