title = "Airworthiness investigation of a highly nonplanar flexible wing concept",
abstract = "An Airbus Group Innovations toolchain being developed for the airworthiness assessment of innovative aircraft configurations in the early design stage was applied and tested on a highly nonplanar flexible wing concept, the C-wing. The toolchain is incorporating the steady and unsteady vortex lattice method coupled to a nonlinear beam model featuring automated preliminary structural sizing and weight estimation. A coupled flight dynamic aeroelastic flight simulation model is generated enabling both a fast and a real time simulation of the investigated configuration. A number of EASA CS-25 requirements are checked and assessed pointing out problems to be expected and assessing the feasibility of the concept with respect to aeroelasticity and flight dynamics.",
