This contribution presents a novel computational approach to aeroelasticity based on the combined use of the Vortex Lattice Method and the discontinuous Galerkin method. The proposed procedure is the first step towards the development of a tool for the optimization, control and morphing of flexible aircraft featuring improved stability and flying performances. Preliminary numerical results are presented for the static aeroelastic behavior of wings with flat-plate and thin-walled NACA profiles. The obtained results show the accuracy and the potential of the proposed approach.
