Including a gust analysis in an optimization framework is computationally expensive as the
critical load cases are not known a priori and hence a large number of points within the flight …

Wind and time delays are two major factors that affect the stability and control for an
unmanned stratospheric airship. A Robust Model Predictive Control (RMPC) approach is …

In the design process of modern aircraft, a comprehensive analysis of worst case structural
gust loads is imperative. Because this analysis requires to consider millions of cases, the …

A parametric reduced order methodology for loads estimation is described that produces a
fast and accurate prediction of gust and manoeuvre loads for different flight conditions and …

TO CERTIFYa new aircraft, it must be proved that it can withstand loads caused by
turbulence and gusts [1]. According to the certification regulations [2, 3], two types of …

Fundamental phase in the preliminary design of an aircraft is the load case choice.
Historically, the manoeuvres have been considered as the principal critical loads, while in …

The current state-of-the-art design optimization of airframes is tightly wounded to its loads
analyses as the process is usually conducted employing a deterministic set of critical load …
