Algorithm for Optimizing the Design Parameters of a Light Transport Aircraft at the Stage of Preliminary Design

Abstract

In this paper, the optimization of design parameters of light transport aircraft has been carried out. The proposed algorithm, in this paper, provides the calculation of the optimal values of take-off weight and fuel efficiency coefficient taking into account the geometric parameters of the aircraft wing, i.e., aspect ratio and taper ratio using genetic algorithm for multi-objective optimization. The design parameters obtained by the Pareto front are presented and compared with the similar type of aircraft.
