The Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of a Distributed Propulsion Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft

The purpose of this study is to examine the multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of a distributed propulsion blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft. The BWB is a hybrid shape resembling a flying wing, placing the payload in the inboard sections of the wing. The distributed propulsion concept involv...
