Aircraft Aerodynamic Design
Optimal aircraft design is impossible without a parametric representation of the geometry of the airframe. We need a mathematical model equipped with a set of controls, or design variables, which generates different candidate airframe shapes in response to changes in the values of these variables. This model''s objectives are to be flexible and concise, and capable of yielding a wide range of shap...
