abstract = "The first chapter is introduced by a short motivation for the ACFA 2020 project given by the “ACARE vision 2020”. The ACFA 2020 project is presented in a concise way, listing the main goals and the associated deliverables together with some key numbers of the project. In order to set the background of the research work done, a section on the state of the art in aircraft configurations is contained. A special emphasis is given to European developments in advanced blended wing body (BWB) aircraft configurations, followed by a section on recent developments in aircraft conceptual design modeling and simulation methods. A section on control concepts for automatic flight control systems concludes the chapter, where both load alleviation and handling qualities are covered.",
