Abstract

The optimization of the aerodynamic load distribution (circulation G) has been performed along the span of the complex lifting system, which provides the minimum induced drag. Optimization computations have been conducted for a set of aerodynamic configurations. Aerodynamic design has been performed by an example of a closed, optimized, biplane-type lifting system relating to the category of nonconventional configurations.
