Integration of the athena vortex lattice aerodynamic analysis software into the multivariate design synthesis of a blended wing body aircraft

This paper describes the process of integrating the Athena Vortex Lattice aerodynamics solver into a conceptual design environment for the multivariate design synthesis and optimisation of a Blended Wing Body (BWB) Aircraft. The work is derived from a PhD study, by one of the authors, which develope...
