Advancement of a Robust and Reliability-Based Design Optimization Framework for Wing Design

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This paper outlines an architecture for simultaneous analysis and robustness and reliability calculations in aircraft design optimization. Robust Design Optimization and Reliability Based Design Optimization are merged into a unied formulation which streamlines the setup of optimization problems and aims at preventing foreseeable implementation issues. The code in development expands upon and, in some cases, completely rewrites a previous version of a Multidisciplinary Design Optimization tool that was solely oriented to deterministic problems.
