Response surface aerodynamic optimisation for blended wing body aircraft

This study is concerned with a methodology for the aerodynamic analysis and preliminary design of a novel configuration for high subsonic civil transport, based on the flying wing concept, known a Blended Wing Body (BWB). A response surface based optimisation method is developed, enabling the design...
