A Surrogate-Based Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimization Framework Exploiting Wing-Propeller Interaction
Christian Alba, Ali Elham, Brian German, Leo L. M. Veldhuis · 2017
This paper presents multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO) framework for design of general aviation aircraft wing including the effect of wing mounted propeller on the wing aerodynamic characteristics. In prusuit of achieving such objective, a wing-propeller full-interaction routine was developed, and integrated in a multidisciplinary design analysis including structural and performance models..
