Abstract

In this paper optimization process of the geometrical design of the wing is described. The goal is to minimize the aerodynamic drag at a requested lift in the cruise regime and thus reduce the fuel consumption. The second goal is to ensure the requested landing regime of the aircraft. Both cases are solved under the wing structural and weight considerations. As a fast design computational tool, a lifting line theory is used. It is moreover supplemented by non-linear aerodynamic airfoil characteristics to provide more accurate results of aerodynamic drag of the wing. These airfoil data were calculated with the CFD and enables to take significant accuracy between low and high-fidelity method which is verified in previous work. The list of requirements is set for aircraft for 40 passengers with a range of 2,500 km at a speed of 438 km/h. As the baseline the L-610 aircraft is selected. Optimized wing geometry in verified in cruise and landing regime/configuration with CFD solver. From the calculation of the weight of the wing and CFD results, the flight performance is calculated for the desired flight mission.
