Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptual Design of Operation Strategies for Hybrid Electric Aircraft
Julian Hoelzen,Yaolong Liu,Boris Bensmann,Christopher Winnefeld,Ali Elham,Jens Friedrichs,Richard Hanke-Rauschenbach +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of the battery within environmentally friendly concepts with significantly reduced carbon footprint is analyzed, and the main findings underline the importance of choosing the right power-to-energy-ratio of a battery according to the flight mission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and implementation of an advanced, design-sensitive method for wing weight estimation
TL;DR: In this article, a new analytical derivation of the so-called airfoil effective distance parameter and a new advanced load estimation approach have been developed, which allow achieving a higher level of accuracy and design sensitivity than any other similar method found in literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quasi-Three-Dimensional Aerodynamic Solver for Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Lifting Surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-three-dimensional aerodynamic solver was proposed to calculate the viscous wing drag using the combination of a two-dimensional airfoil analysis tool with a vortex lattice code.
Journal ArticleDOI
A surrogate-based multi-disciplinary design optimization framework modeling wing–propeller interaction
TL;DR: Examination of the total function calls and run times showed that the use of surrogate models improves overall optimization performance, provided that suitable surrogate modeling techniques are chosen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupled adjoint aerostructural wing optimization using quasi-three-dimensional aerodynamic analysis
Ali Elham,Michel J.L. van Tooren +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-three-dimensional aerodynamic solver is developed and connected to a finite beam element model for wing aerostructural optimization, which needs much lower computational costs, while computes the wing drag and structural deformation with a level of accuracy comparable to the higher fidelity CFD and FEM tools.
