Abstract
Recent emphasis on reduction of design cycle time and cost in the design of commercial aircraft (P.E. Rubbert, ‘CFD and the changing world of airplane design’, AIAA Wright Brothers Lecture, September, 1994) has sparked a renewed interest in design optimization in aerodynamics, structures and aeroelastics. In this paper, recent developments in the use of design optimization in aerodynamics using the TRANAIR code are considered. Globalization techniques and the extension of the methodology to multipoint design will be discussed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
