Thedens, P. (author), De Oliveira Andrade, G.L. (author), Schmehl, R. (author)We present a multidisciplinary design optimization method for the profile and structural reinforcement layout of a ram‐air kite rib. The aim is to minimize the structural elastic energy and to maximize the traction power of a ram‐air kite used for airborne wind energy generation. Because of the large deformations occurring during flight, a fluid...journal article 2019
