Abstract

This work aims at generation of optimum camber shapes for a wing for transport aircraft application. Induced drag reduction is the main consideration. The lift is increased by a factor and objective function for minimum induced drag is formed that is differentiable with respect to circulation that is aimed to generate prescribed lift.
