A study was conducted to assess the feasibility of performing computerized wing design by numerical optimization. The design program combined a full potential, inviscid aerodynamics code with a conjugate gradient optimization algorithm. Three design problems were selected to demonstrate the design technique. The first involved modifying the upper surface of the inboard 50% of a…

andsimplemathematicalfunctionshavingeasilyobservedphysicalfeatures.Thefundamentalparametricgeometry representation method is shown to describe an essentially limitless design space composed entirely of analytically smooth geometries. The class function/shape function methodology is then extended to more general threedimensional applications such as wing, body, ducts, and nacelles. It is shown that a general three-dimensional geometry can be represented by a distribution of fundamental shapes,…
TheBoeingBlended-Wing–Body (BWB)airplane concept represents a potentialbreakthrough in subsonic trans-port ef ciency. Work began on this concept via a study to demonstrate feasibility and begin development of this new class of airplane. In this initial study, 800-passengerBWB and conventionalcon guration airplaneswere sized and compared for a 7000-n mile design range. Both airplanes were based on engine…
A surface spline is a mathematical tool for interpolating a function of two variables. It is based upon the small deflection equation of an infinite plate. The surface spline depends upon the solution of a system of linear equations, and thus, will ordinarily require the use of a digital computer. The closed form solution involves…
