Wing Design by Numerical Optimization

R. M. Hicks, P. A. Henne · 1 Jul 1978

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…

Universal Parametric Geometry Representation Method

Brenda Kulfan · 1 Jan 2008

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,…

Design of the Blended Wing Body Subsonic Transport

R. H. Liebeck · 1 Jan 2004

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…

Interpolation using surface splines.

R. L. Harder, R. N. Desmarais · 1 Feb 1972

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…

Journal of Aircraft template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Aircraft format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Aircraft template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AIAA format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Aircraft use?
Journal of Aircraft uses Numbered (AIAA) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith, A., Jones, B., and Lee, C., "A Representative Article Title," Journal of Aircraft, Vol. 12, No. 3, 2023, pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Aircraft?
No. DocuGuru generates the new-aiaa LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AIAA-ready Journal of Aircraft document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Aircraft template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Aircraft format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Journal of Aircraft?
AIAA journal. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by AIAA.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Aircraft PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Aircraft template (the new-aiaa class) that is ready to submit to AIAA, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Aircraft template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Aircraft template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Aircraft PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
