“…However, after considering certain issues and an analysis made within the conceptual design, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) changes held in the initial design were reasonable for an amphibious aircraft configuration as well as for dynamic characteristics; (2) all the aerodynamic and dynamic analysis results were promising; (3) the new model was ready for further analysis including the MDO approach. 20 From these results, further direction of the research are as follows:…”

This paper aims at presenting the conceptual design of an amphibious airplane for underwater observation in the territory of Japan. Taking into account the specificity of this type of vehicles, particular attention should be paid to the analysis of aerodynamic and dynamic characteristics of aircraft. In order to cope up with this topic, commercial tools have been exploited (such as ANSYS Fluent for wing aerodynamics analysis) as well as the home-built software PANUKL package for aerodynamic analysis of the entire airplane and simulation and dynamic stability analysis for dynamic analysis. Special attention was given to the priorities resulting from understanding the characteristics of the Japanese client.

Aircraft wing morphing or radical shape change in flight has long been the subject of inquisitive research around the world. It happens because morphing ensures optimal adaptation to any flight conditions such as takeoff , cruise, landing and other manoeuvres. The current state of material engineering is not yet in a position to provide adequate technologies to achieve such significant changes in the wing's shape as morphing requires, though interesting progress can be observed. This article presents a new concept of the wing morphing, which potentially circumvents problems related to the elastic deformation of the wing structure. The first part of this article presents the principle of the operation and capabilities of the morphing wing, while the second part focuses on preparation for investigation of its numerical aerodynamic characteristics as groundwork to wind tunnel research.

The design of aircraft has evolved over time from the classical design approach to the more modern computer based design method utilising multivariate design optimisation. In recent years aircraft concepts and configurations have become more diverse and complex thus pushing many synthesis packages beyond their capability. Furthermore, many examples of aircraft design software focus on the analysis of one particular concept thus requiring separate packages for each concept. This can lead to complications in comparing concepts and configurations as differences in performance may originate from different prediction toolsets being used. This paper presents the GENUS Aircraft Design Framework developed by Cranfield University's Aircraft Design Group to address these issues. The paper reviews available aircraft design methodologies and describes the challenges faced in their development and application. Following this, the GENUS aircraft design environment is introduced, along with the theoretical background and practical reasoning behind the program architecture. Particular attention is given to the programming, choice of methodology and optimization techniques involved. Subsequently, some applications of the developed methodology, implemented in the framework are presented to illustrate the diversity of the approach. Three special classes of aircraft design concept are presented briefly.
