Abstract

The objective of the present work is the preliminary sizing of a BWB (Blended Wing Body) passenger aircraft configuration, using a multidisciplinary modelling and optimization methodology. The aim is to ensure that all the important aspects of the design are taken into account in a concurrent way.
