N2 - In this paper, a multidisciplinary pre-design method for UAVs is shown on an example of a hybrid demonstrator aircraft (HUGO airship demonstrator) that uses aerostatic and aerodynamic lift. Starting with outlining typical missions and requirements, the concept of the hybrid UAV is presented in short. Thereafter, the UAV modeling loop and its sub models (finite elements model, flight mechanics and aerodynamics model, energy consumption model, mass models) are described in detail. Finally, an optimization with a genetic algorithm has been done, resulting in an optimal demonstrator design.
