Abstract
This article presents basic results from wing planform optimization for minimum drag with constraints on structural weight and maximum lift. Analyses in each of these disciplines are developed and integrated to yield successful optimization of wing planform shape. Results demonstrate the importance of weight constraints, compressibility drag, maximum lift, and static aeroelasticity on wing shape, and the necessity of modeling these effects to achieve realistic optimized planforms.Keywords
