A Multilevel Decomposition Procedure for the Preliminary Wing Design of a High-speed Civil Transport Aircraft
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multilevel decomposition approach for the preliminary design of a High Speed Civil Transport Aircraft wing structure is described. The wing design is decomposed into three levels. The top level uses the FLOPS aircraft synthesis program to generate preliminary weights, mission, and performance information. The optimization criterion is productivity expressed by a productivity index for the specified mission. The second level of the system performs a finite-element based structural optimization of the wing box with the help of the ASTROS structural optimization tool. The wing structure is sized subject to strength, buckling, and aeroelastic constraints. The buckling constraint information is supplied by the third level where a detailed buckling optimization of individual skin cover panels is performed.

متن کاملCombined Aerodynamic and Structural Optimization of a High-speed Civil Transport Wing
A combined procedure for the aerodynamic and structural optimization of a High-Speed Civil Transport wing is presented. Primary goal of the procedure is the determination of the jig shape of the wing necessary so that it deforms into its optimum shape in cruise flight. The wing twist and camber distribution is optimized for the cruise condition using WINGDES, a code based on a linearized potent...

From Wright Brothers 1903 to present day 2003, aeronautical technology has made a profound progress. This paper demonstrates the outcome of this progress in weight, wing area, and engine thrust in three categories of transport aircraft of short to long range, regional jets, and turbo-prop commuter aircraft. Also the paper includes those aircraft with distinct jump in aeronautical technology. Fe...
