Multidisciplinary optimization of high-speed civil transport configurations using variable-complexity modeling
An approach to aerodynamic configuration optimization is presented for the high-speed civil transport (HSCT). Methods to parameterize the wing shape, fuselage shape and nacelle placement are described. Variable-complexity design strategies are used to combine conceptual and preliminary-level design …

Integrated aerodynamic-structural wing design optimization
… and sensitivity calculations that are applied to two specific design examples. The first is a subsonic transport aircraft with a composite forwardswept wing. The aerodynamic modeling for this case is provided by vortex-lattice theory and the structural model initially utilizes finite-element …

Predicting Drag Polars For Micro Air Vehicles
<p> Drag polars for three Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) were measured at Reynolds numbers of 70,000, 50,000, 30,000, and 10,000 and compared to predictions generated using the classical approach. The MAVs tested had different configurations and aspect ratios varying from 1.2 to 1.6 and ratios of wetted …
