10-1. Oblique Flying Wing: Optimization of an innovative configuration

OFW: a wing-only configuration with attractive aerodynamic efficiency for future air transport

Application of aerodynamic knowledge base to accelerate design process: Manual Optimization example

Basic configuration for concept studies : OFW interior design and operation at airports

 

PARSEC spanwise airfoil variation

Classical aerodynamic knowledge bases: [1], [2]

Shock wave visualization and L/D as a function of sweep. Manual design result confirmed by genetic algorithm
