A Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDOPT) framework has been developed for air vehicle design and analysis. The developed MDOPT system contains a collection of technology modules for performing optimization studies by means of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and combining robust numerical optimization schemes with higher order computational analysis. A variety of multidisciplinary objective and constraint functions are available, including aerodynamic, weight, mission performance, and stability and control characteristics. This paper is intended to provide an overview of the MDOPT development and test case results for a generic fighter configuration, funded under an Air Force Contract, F33615-98-2-3014, with Boeing cost match funds. The period of development was established with contract activity beginning in September 1998 and ending April 2002. Continued MDOPT development and design applications are being pursued within Boeing using internal funding. I.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
