Next steps in aerostructural design of ultra-high aspect ratio wings
This paper presents the authors’ research work on the aerostructural design of Ultra-High Aspect-ratio Wings (UHARW). Firstly, aircraft configurations suitable for UHARW, especially unconventional configurations, are introduced and discussed. Then the aircraft conceptual design and analysis framework developed for the unconventional UHARW aircraft is described. The UHARW of the conceptually designed Strut-Braced Wing (SBW) and twin-fuselage aircraft are further investigated by employing a series of nonlinear aerostructural optimization methods, including the influences of aileron design and flutter constraint on the ultra-high aspect-ratio SBW design.

Abstract
This paper presents the authors’ research work on the aerostructural design of Ultra-High Aspect-ratio Wings (UHARW). Firstly, aircraft configurations suitable for UHARW, especially unconventional configurations, are introduced and discussed. Then the aircraft conceptual design and analysis framework developed for the unconventional UHARW aircraft is described. The UHARW of the conceptually designed Strut-Braced Wing (SBW) and twin-fuselage aircraft are further investigated by employing a series of nonlinear aerostructural optimization methods, including the influences of aileron design and flutter constraint on the ultra-high aspect-ratio SBW design.
