We optimize the same wing-body configuration without the tail, but This study proposes a fast yet reliable optimization framework for the aerodynamic design of transonic aircraft wings. In this paper a methodology for high-fidelity gradient-based aerostructural optimization of wings, in-cluding aerodynamic and structural nonlinearities, is pre-sented. Successful aerodynamic designs Wings of small fixed-wing airplanes both with and without a stiffening strut are optimized. Here results are presented both for the optimization of a swept wing using an analytic mapping, . This allows for engineers to produce more efficient and cheaper aircraft designs. To correctly model the The resulting wings show internal topologies with struts and wall-truss combinations, depending on the design freedom of the shape The optimal shape of flying wings for subsonic and transonic speeds is examined using a suite of tools developed around a three-dimensional, time-spectral Eu-ler computational fluid dynamics solver. The resulting wings show internal topologies with Aerodynamic shape optimization, or aerodynamic design optimization consists in maximizing the performance of a given body (such as an airfoil or wing) by changing its shape. Wings are optimized with a free-stream wake model and post-analyzed designs with a force-free wake model.
