Full scale aerodynamic wind tunnel testing, numerical simulation of high dimensional (full-
order) aerodynamic models or flight testing are some of the fundamental but complex steps …

Recent progresses in aircraft aerodynamics have witnessed the introduction of surrogate-
based approaches in design analysis and optimization as an alternative to address the …

Shape optimization in unsteady flow problems enables the consideration of dynamic effects
on design. The ability to treat unsteady effects is attractive, as it can provide performance …

The aircraft conceptual design step requires a substantial number of aerodynamic
configuration evaluations. Since the wing is the main aircraft lifting element, the focus is on …

Current unmanned aerial vehicles have been designed by applying the traditional approach
to aircraft conceptual design which has drawbacks in terms of the individual analysis of each …

During the aircraft conceptual design phase, many different design options need to be
explored and compared in a short time frame. To speed up this process, efforts have been …

The drive for a more flexible Through-life Engineering servicing technology that can
enhance both productivity and profitability for the operation of maintenance, repair, overhaul …

This paper performs an observational human subjects study to investigate how design
teams use an information system to exchange, store, and synthesize information in an …

The new generation of network-based organizations has triggered the emergence of
distributed and more complex contexts for the analysis of firms' strategies. This gradual …

Although many efforts have been made in implementing Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis
(MCDA) techniques in aerospace engineering, there still remains a large gap between the …
