High-fidelity Multipoint Aerostructural Optimization of a High Aspect Ratio Tow-steered Composite Wing
Composite materials have been playing a major role in modern aircraft design due to their high stiffness and strength to weight ratio. While the advantages of composite structures over their metallic counterparts is significant, it is possible to improve even further on the benefits offered by traditional composites through the use of novel composite manufacturing methods. One such method is au...
متن کاملScheduling of Arrival Aircraft Based on Minimum Fuel Burn Descents
The main goal of this research is to investigate minimum fuel descent trajectories for various types of aircraft and consider appropriate arrival sequencing based on the acquired results. First, the validity of a point mass model to find optimized descent trajectories in order to obtain minimal fuel consumption is confirmed. Through single aircraft numerical simulations, the principle “higher f...
متن کاملA Comparison of Metallic and Composite Aircraft Wings Using Aerostructural Design Optimization
In this paper we examine the design of metallic and composite aircraft wings in order to assess how the use of composites modifies the trade-off between structural weight and drag. In order to perform this assessment, we use a gradient-based aerostructural design optimization framework that combines a high-fidelity finite-element structural model that includes panel-level design variables with ...
متن کاملAerostructural Optimization of Nonplanar Lifting Surfaces
Nonplanar lifting surfaces can lower the induced drag relative to planar surfaces by redistributing vorticity.Other sources of drag, such as viscous drag, as well as nonaerodynamic considerations, such as structural weight, also play an important role in assessing the overall efficiency of such lifting surfaces. In this paperwe solve a series of problems tofindoptimal nonplanar lifting surfaces...
متن کاملAerostructural Optimization of a Transonic Compressor Rotor
This paper presents a framework for multi-objective and multidisciplinary design optimization using highfidelity analysis tools. In this framework the aerodynamic performance is evaluated based on a Navier–Stokes equation solver, and the structure dynamics is computed using commercially available finite element software. We employ a genetic algorithm as a robust design optimization tool to faci...
