Control Augmented Structural Optimization of Aeroelastically Tailored Fiber Composite Wings

Abstract

A unique capability under development for structure/control synthesis of composite lifting surfaces in subsonic and supersonic flow regimes is described. The constituent modeling concepts for the lifting and control surface structure, the unsteady aerodynamics, and active control feedback laws are described. Sample problems are presented to demonstrate specific features of the capability. Current efforts to extend the capability to handle transonic aeroservoelasticity are described. Keywords: Structure-controls synthesis; Composite lifting surfaces; Aeroservoelasticity.
