Subsonic Transport Composite Wing Model

A new benchmark wing model for optimization algorithm comparisons that may include flutter and divergence, aeroelastic tailoring, buckling and post buckling, vibration and natural frequency analyses is proposed. The idea behind this wing model is that the laminate design of the wing root joint is used for the entire wing structural box (upper and lower skin panels, ribs, and front and rear spars). This laminate design is sized to support all the loads that occur at the wing root. The structure is purposely over designed to provide a starting point for subsequent structural optimization. Aerodynamic and structural and fuel masses are included as load conditions.
