A challenge for the scientific community is to adapt to and exploit the trend towards greater multidisciplinary focus in research and technology. This work is concerned with multi-disciplinary design for whole aircraft ...

Interactivity always involves two entities; one of them by default is a human user. The specialised subject of human factors is introduced in the context of computational aerodynamics and optimisation, specifically a ...

Engineering methods that couple multi-objective optimisation (MOO) techniques with high fidelity computational tools are expected to minimise the environmental impact of aviation while increasing the growth, with the ...

During the early stages of any system design, a thorough exploration of the design space can prove to be challenging and computationally expensive. The challenges are further exacerbated when dealing with complex systems, ...

This research focuses on the techno-economic assessment of Brayton cycles and provides a platform through which the evaluation and optimization of gas turbine engine performance and economics may be achieved in an economical ...

We analyse the uncertainty present at the structural-sizing stage of aircraft design due to interactions between aeroelastic loading and incomplete structural definition. In particular, we look at critical load case ...
