The intimate configuration of the silent supersonic technology demonstrator has been designed using the design-informatics approach. As a first step, multidisciplinary design optimization with multi-objectives has been performed for the wing shape of a silent supersonic technology demonstrator among aerodynamics, structures, aeroelasticity, and boom noise. Aerodynamic evaluation was carried out by solving Euler equations on computational fluid dynamics, and composite structural weight evaluation was performed by using MSC. NASTRAN for strength and flutter requirements on computational structural dynamics. The intensity of sonic boom was evaluated by a modified linear theory. The optimization problem had four objective functions as the minimizations of the pressure drag and the boom intensity at supersonic condition, and the composite structural weight. The intimate configuration defined by 50 design variables was optimized on particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm hybrid method. In the structural evaluation, the combination optimization of stacking sequences of laminated composites was performed for inboard and outboard wings with strength and flutter requirements. Consequently, 37 non-dominated solutions were obtained. As a second step, data mining has been performed to obtain the design knowledge for deciding a compromise solution. The data mining revealed the knowledge in the design space, such as the tradeoff information among the objective functions, and the correlations between objective functions and design variables. A compromise solution was successfully determined by using the obtained design knowledge. Design-informatics approach is essential for an efficient design process.
