Integrated aerodynamic-structural wing design optimization

Several procedures for the simultaneous aerodynamic-structural design optimization of aircraft wings are investigated. These procedures include efficient methods for optimization and sensitivity calculations that are applied to two specific design examples. The first is a subsonic transport aircraft...
