MDO (Multidisciplinary Design Optimization) methodology is an emerging new technology to solve a complicate structural analysis and design problem with a large number of design variables and constraints. In this paper MDO methodology is adopted through the use of computer aided systems such as Geometric Solid Modeller, Mesh Generator, CAD system and CAE system. And this paper introduces MDO methodology as a new method for structural analysis and design through the application to the structural design of flap drive system. In a MDO methodology application to the structural design of flap drive system, kinetodynamic analysis is done using a simple aerodynamic analysis model for the air flow over the flap surface instead of difficult aerodynamic analysis. Simultaneously the structural static analysis is done to obtain the optimum structural condition. And the structural buckling analysis for push pull rod is also done to confirm the optimum structural condition (optimum cross section shape of push pull rod).

Numerical optimization of two dimensional high lift configuration was performed with flow solver and optimization method based on RSM(Response Surface Model). Navier-Stokes solver with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model was selected for the simulation of highly complex and separated flows on the flap. For the simultaneous optimization of both flap shape and setting (gap/overlap), 10 design variables (eight variables for flap shape variation and two variables for flap setting) were chosen. In order to generate the response surface model, 128 experimental points were selected for 10 design variables. The objective function considering maximum lift coefficient, lift to drag ratio and lift coefficient at specific angle of attack was selected to reduce flow separation on the flap surface. The present method was applied to two dimensional fowler flap in landing configuration. After applying the present method, it was shown that the optimized high lift configuration had less flow separation on the flap surface and lift to drag ratio was suppressed over entire angle of attack range.

In the present paper, fowler flap was optimized to maximize the lift with response surface method. Leading edge shape and the gap between main airfoil and flap, were optimized and the aerodynamic characteristics was improved considerably. The optimized flap has more rounded leading edge and bigger gap. Before angle of attack, $10^{\circ}$, lift and drag are improved and the optimized flap shows similar aerodynamic characteristics to the original flap. The flow condition for optimization was angle of attack, $10^{\circ}$, Mach number, 0.2, flap deflection, $40^{\circ}$.

본 연구에서는 높은 양력을 얻기 위하여 플랩 형상 최적 설계를 시도하였다. 플랩 형태는 플랩 중에서 가장 효율이 좋은 파울러 플랩(fowler flap)이다. 플랩 설계는 최적화 기법을 활용하여 진행하였고 최적화의 초기 형상은 general aviation airfoil과 Wentz 등이 개발한 플랩이다. 최적화 방법으로는 반응면 기법 (Response Surface Method)이 사용되었으며, Hicks-Henne 형상함수가 사용되었고, GA(W)-1 익형과 fowler flap이 조합된 형상의 유동장에 대하여 Navier-Stokes 해석을 수행하였다. 상용 최적화 프로그램인 Visual-Doc, 격자 생성 프로그램인 Gambit/Tgrid, 그리고 유동해석에는 Fluent를 이용하였다. 플랩의 윗면 형상과 gap에 대한 최적화를 수행하여 착륙조건에서의 양력이 증가하였다. 초기 형상과 최적화된 형상의 공력특성 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 항우연의 1m 풍동에서 시험을 수행하였다. 최적화된 형상은 대체로 예측치와 비슷한 경향을 보이나, 이른 실속이 관찰되었다. 또한, 날개와 플랩 간의 간격을 설계치보다 좁혀 줌으로써 양력특성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 설계시 사용된 난류 모델의 영향이라 판단된다.

고양력장치는 항공기의 이착륙 및 실속성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러므로, 이 논문에서는 주어진 2차원 플랩 형상에 대하여 가장 최적화된 플랩 위치와 변위각을 얻는 슬롯티드 플랩 설계 최적화 프로세스을 제안하였다. 플랩 변위각 및 Gap, Overlap을 양력을 증가시키는 주요 변수로 생각하였고, 정확한 해석결과를 위해 공력해석 소프트웨어로 ANSYS Fluent 13.0.0$^{(R)}$을 사용하였다. 최적화된 형상은 SQP(Sequential Quadratic Programming) 알고리즘을 통해 도출됐으며, 최적화된 플랩과 함께 ADSP(Aircraft Design Synthesis Program) in-house 성능해석 코드를 사용하여 항공기의 성능을 시험하였고, 이착륙 거리, 실속속도 등의 성능변수들이 KAS-VLA 인증규정을 만족하는 결과를 얻었다.

The performances of lifting surfaces are particularly critical in specific flight conditions like takeoff and landing. Different systems can be used to increase the lift and drag coefficients in such conditions like slat, flap or ailerons. Nevertheless they increase the losses and make difficult the mechanical design of wing structures. Morphing surfaces are a compromise between a right increase in lift and a reduction of parts movements involved in the actuation. Furthermore these systems are suitable for more than one flight condition with low inertia problems. So, flap and slats can be easily substituted by the corresponding morphing shapes. This paper deals with a genetic optimization of an airfoil with morphing flap with an already optimized nose. Indeed, two different codes are used to solve the equations, a finite volume code suitable for structured grids named ZEN and the EulerBoundary Layer Drela's code MSES. First a number of different preliminary design tests were done considering a specific set of design variables in order to restrict the design region. Then a RANS optimization with a single design point related to the take-off flight condition has been carried out in order to refine the previous design. Results are shown using the characteristic curves of the best and of the baseline reported to outline the computed performances enhancements. They reveal how the contemporary use of a morphing acting on the nose of the main component and the trailing edge of the flap drive towards a total not negligible increment in lift.

To investigate aerodynamic performance of high-lift devices, 2D design is the base of the success of high-lift system design for transport aircraft, which can shorten the periods of three-dimensional design and analysis. For the simulation coupled viscous and inviscous euler method (MSES) is used. In this parametric study, Gap and Overlap which can define position of flap is used as design variables and we investigale relation between angle of attack and flap position for lift enhancement.

In this paper, a conceptual design process for Very Light Jet aircraft has been proposed incorporating aircraft safety certification. During the proposed design process, satisfaction of the airworthiness certification for an intermediate resulting aircraft configuration is evaluated and then redesigns are carried out if necessary and until the designed aircraft configuration satisfies the airworthiness requirements. Certification database has been developed using FAR 23, AC 23, KAS 23, and CS 23 as the airworthiness certification. Based on the developed certification database Design Certifcation Related Table has been produced to use the airworthiness requirements as design constraints in the propsed design process. Using Quality Function Deployment the design variables for a redesign are carefully selected and a design optimization is performed. To demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of rapid aircraft conceptual design using the proposed approach, a Very Light Jet design optimization including a redesign of wing flap has been performed and the design results have been presented.

Wing flap deflection angles of a supersonic transport are optimized to improve transonic cruise performance. For this end, a numerical optimization method is adopted using a three-dimensional unstructured Euler code and a discrete adjoint code. Deflection angles of ten flaps; five for leading edge and five fur railing edge, are employed as design variables. The elliptic equation method is adopted for the interior grid modification during the design process. Interior grid sensitivities are neglected for efficiency. Also tested is the validity of the approximate gradient evaluation method for the present design problem and found that it is applicable for loading edge flap design in cases of no shock waves on the wing surface. The BFGS method is used to minimize the drag with constraints on the lift and upper surface Mach numbers. Two design examples are conducted; one is leading edge flap design, and the other is simultaneous design of leading edge and trailing edge flaps. The latter gave a smaller drag than the former by about two counts.
