Aeroelastic design optimization program

A major programming effort to produce an interdisciplinary optimization program for the static, dynamic, and aeroelastic analysis of finite element models has been underway at Douglas Aircraft Company since 1985. The current status of the program is described together with test and production applications and plans for future developments
