Published Research

IFASD 2013
Aerodynamic Optimisation of a Flexible High-Lift Wing
G. Trapani, A.M. Savill, T. Kipouros, C. Agostinelli, A. Rampurawala

A methodology combining quasi-3D aerodynamics with reduced structural models and multi-objective optimisation, achieving 1–2% improvements in maximum lift coefficient while reducing computational time to approximately 25 minutes per design.

IFASD 2013
Flexible Wing Twist Optimisation Using Rapid Computational Methods
C. Agostinelli, C.B. Allen, A. Rampurawala

A framework enabling rapid wing twist optimisation through aerodynamic databases and beam-stick structural models, reducing static coupling time from 60 hours to under 1 second, with automated optimisation and industrial integration at Airbus.
