Multidisciplinary design and aerodynamic assessment of an agile and highly swept aircraft configuration

Abstract: The characteristics of highly swept aircraft configurations have been studied in a series of consecutive research projects in DLR for more than 15 years. Currently, the investigations focus on the generic SACCON UCAV configuration, which was specified in a common effort together with the NATO STO/AVT-161 task group. This paper is the first one in a series of articles presenting the SACCON-related research work within DLR. First, the article describes the conceptual design studies being performed for this aircr… Show more

“…8). The CAD interface uses the experience gained during the development of the geometry library TiGL [29], which is used for the geometry generation in the preliminary aircraft design at DLR [30][31][32]. This includes surface modeling such as section skinning or curve network interpolation, as well as the geometry export into common data formats.…”

“…This design process is called MONA because of the two principal computer programs used, ModGen and MSC Nastran. MONA is embedded in a conceptual design process for multidisciplinary design optimization [8]. Some example of usage are the configurations FERMAT [9], ALLEGRA [10], and DLR-F19 [2].…”

“…With the help of TiGL, slight modifications of aircraft geometries can be created in an automated workflow. CPACS and TiGL are currently being developed and constantly extentended in research projects related to MDO [12][13][14]. Some ideas to increase the optimization capabilities in the future are…”
