Numerical optimization of a 777-like configuration, where maximum takeoff weight is minimized. Multi-point optimizations with 5 cruise conditions and 2 maneuver conditions are performed with a 2 million cell CFD mesh and 300 000 DOF structural mesh. The optima for problems with 476 design variables are obtained within 36 hours of wall time on 435 processors. More details in this paper:
