The most up-to-date version of the course regulations is available on the USOS platform (1130-AERO0-MSA-3007).
To build more and more competitive aircraft optimization methods are needed. During the course students will learn how to define optimization tasks, choose design variables and objective functions. Get to know about different optimization methods starting from graphical, engineering one and finishing with numerical optimization methods. Theoretical basis will be shown as well as industrial approach and practical examples.
