Alba, Christian (author), Elham, Ali (author), German, Brian J. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author)This paper presents a multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO) framework for design of a general aviation aircraft wing considering the effects of tractor propellers on the wing aerodynamic characteristics. In pursuit of this objective, a wing–propeller full-interaction aerodynamic routine was developed and integrated with structural and...journal article 2018

Dufour, R. (author), De Meulenaere, J. (author), Elham, A. (author)This paper presents the multidisciplinary optimization of an aircraft carried sub-orbital spaceplane. The optimization process focused on three disciplines: the aerodynamics, the structure and the trajectory. The optimization of the spaceplane geometry was coupled with the optimization of its trajectory. The structural weight was estimated using...journal article 2015
