Multidisciplinary design optimization of aerospace vehicles has attracted interest of many researchers. Well known aerospace companies are developing tools for the mutlidisciplinary design optimization. However, the multiobjective optimization of the design is a new and important area investigated very little by the researchers. This thesis will examine the approaches to the multiobjective and mutlidisciplinary design optimization of rockets and missiles. In the study, multiobjective optimization method called MC-MOSA will be used.

Flight simulation and control of a helicopter
Erçin, Gülsüm Hilal; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
In this thesis the development of a nonlinear simulation model of a utility helicopter and the design of its automatic flight control system is addressed. In the first part of this thesis, the nonlinear dynamic model for a full size helicopter is developed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The main rotor (composed of inflow and flapping dynamics parts), tail rotor, fuselage, vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer of the helicopter are modeled in order to obtain the total forces and moments needed f...
Aerodynamic design and optimization of horizontal axis wind turbines by using bem theory and genetic algorithm
Ceyhan, Özlem; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
An aerodynamic design and optimization tool for wind turbines is developed by using both Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory and Genetic Algorithm. Turbine blades are optimized for the maximum power production for a given wind speed, a rotational speed, a number of blades and a blade radius. The optimization variables are taken as a fixed number of sectional airfoil profiles, chord lengths, and twist angles along the blade span. The airfoil profiles and their aerodynamic data are taken from an airfoil datab...
Aero-structural design and analysis of an unmanned aerial vehicle and its mission adaptive wing
İnsuyu, Erdoğan Tolga; Şahin, Melin; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010)
This thesis investigates the effects of camber change on the mission adaptive wing of a structurally designed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS/FLUENT is employed for the aerodynamic analyses. Several cambered airfoils are compared in terms of their aerodynamic coefficients and the effects of the camber change formed in specific sections of the wing on the spanwise pressure distribution are investigated. The mission adaptive wing is modeled struc...
Panel-Method-Based Path Planning and Collaborative Target Tracking for Swarming Micro Air Vehicles
Uzol, Oğuz; Yavrucuk, İlkay (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2010-03-01)
This paper presents an application of the potential field panel method commonly used in aerodynamics analysis to obtain streamlinelike trajectories and use them for path planning and collaborative target tracking for swarming micro air vehicles in an urban environment filled with complex shaped buildings and other architectural structures. In addition, we introduce a performance matching technique that relates the flu id velocities, which are obtained as a part of the panel method solution, to vehicle veloc...
Tilt duct vertical takeoff and landing uninhabited aerial vehicle concept design study
Armutcuoglu, O; Kavsaoglu, MS; Tekinalp, Ozan (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2004-03-01)
A new autonomously controlled tilt-duct vertical takeoff and landing uninhabited aerial vehicle concept is proposed. This design combines the vertical flight capability of a helicopter and forward flight performance of a fixed-wing conventional aircraft. The two main engines and propellers are located inside the tilting ducts attached to the wing tips. There is a third engine-propeller combination located inside the all fuselage for pitch and yaw control during hover and transition. The advantages and disad...
