Abstract
A set of related topics address aircraft that are significantly different from traditional aircraft. All of the effort relied upon multidisciplinary analysis tools, including finite element modeling, computational aerodynamic prediction, and aeroelastic analysis. An initial investigation focused upon aeroelastic modeling and related design approaches for joined-wing aircraft. Subsequent investigations focused upon design approaches for morphing aircraft.
