Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of a Medium Range Transonic Truss-Braced Wing Transport Aircraft

This study utilizes Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) techniques to explore the effectiveness of the truss-braced (TBW) and strut-braced (SBW) wing configurations in enhancing the performance of medium range, transonic transport aircraft. The truss and strut-braced wing concepts synergize...
