Mixed Fidelity Multi Discipline Optimization of a Supersonic Transport Aircraft

Fluid-Structure Coupling for Aerodynamic Analysis and Design: A DLR Perspective (Invited)

“…The DLR has accumulated significant experience within various projects 41,42 and has in hand a multidisciplinary analysis suite dedicated for supersonic aircraft applications. This procedure, originally developed by NLR 43,44 and adapted to the DLR tools, is relying on high-level fidelity for aerodynamics and structure (in supersonic cruise) and on statistic based tools to cover other disciplines (flight mechanic and propulsion) and remaining parts of the mission.…”
