Wave Drag Reduction for Aircraft Fuselage-Wing Configurations. Volume 2. Manual for Computer Programs

Abstract : An optimization procedure has been developed to minimize the wave drag of an aircraft fuselage-wing configuration subject to constraints imposed by design requirements. The theory, methods, computer programs and results are presented in this report in two volumes. This volume is the user's manual for the computer programs. The input/output information is described in detail. Listings of the programs are given, and samples of built-in program diagnostic messages are explained. Also included are the logical structures of the programs and the descriptions of the subroutines, which in combination with the program listings can be used for possible future modification, improvement, or extension of these computer programs.
