Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimisation; All-movable aircraft fin; Control effectiveness
Abstract :
[en] The Lagrange Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO) code is used for the preliminary
study into design aspects of a generic all-movable aircraft fin. It is shown how the control
effectiveness at high speeds can be increased through variation of the attachment position and
stiffness, whilst still meeting strength and aeroelastic stability constraints.
