Abstrakt: This article presents single- and multi-disciplinary shape optimizations of a generic business jet wing at two transonic cruise flow conditions. The studies performed are based on two high-fidelity gradient-based optimization tools, assisted by the adjoint method (following both discrete and continuous approaches). Single discipline and coupled multi-disciplinary sensitivity derivatives computed from the two tools are compared and verified against finite differences. The importance of not making the frozen turbulence assumption in adjoint-based optimization is demonstrated. Then, a number of optimization runs, ranging from a pure aerodynamic with a rigid structure to an aerostructural one exploring the trade-offs between the involved disciplines, are presented and discussed. The middle-ground scenario of optimizing the wing with aerodynamic criteria and, then, performing an aerostructural trimming is also investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
