Structural and aeroelastic multidisciplinary optimisation of a joined-type sensorcraft wing

Classical criteria of aircraft design involve adding a multiplier to the structure's inertial load to cater for various flight circumstances. The value of this multiplier depends on the type of aircraft designed, for example a high value is used in acrobatic variants to cater for their high g m...

Description
Summary:Classical criteria of aircraft design involve adding a multiplier to the structure's inertial load to cater for various flight circumstances. The value of this multiplier depends on the type of aircraft designed, for example a high value is used in acrobatic variants to cater for their high g manoeuvres, as compared to a lower value in light non-acrobatic versions.
