Wing design optimization has been an active area of research for several decades, but achieving practical designs has been a challenge. One of the main challenges is the wing \ufb02exibility, which requires the consideration of both aerodynamics and structures. To address this, we have developed the capability to perform simultaneous optimization of the outer mold line of a wing and its structural sizing. The solution of such design optimization problems is made possible by MACH, a framework for high-\ufb01delity aerostructural optimization that uses state-of-the-art numerical methods. MACH combines a three-dimensional CFD solver, a \ufb01nite-element structural model of the wingbox, a geometry modeler, and a gradient-based optimizer. It computes the \ufb02ying shape of a wing and is able to optimize aircraft con\ufb01gurations with respect to hundreds of aerodynamic shape and internal structural sizes. The theoretical developments include coupled-adjoint sensitivity analysis, and an automatic differentiation adjoint approach. The algorithms resulting from these developments are all implemented to take advantage of massively parallel computers. To benchmark the developed approaches, we created a high-\ufb01delity aeroelastic model based on NASA\u2019s Common Research Model. In addition, we created a high aspect ratio wing version of this model to explore the use of new aircraft technologies. Applications to the optimization of aircraft con\ufb01gurations demonstrate the effectiveness of these approaches in designing aircraft wings for maximum performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IFASD-2017-127.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Joaquim R.
