The aircraft industry faces the twin challenges of rising fuel costs and environmental concerns. Consequently the industry is committed to reducing overall CO2 emissions from aviation by 50% by 2050, which will require a great deal of technological progress. Improving aircraft fuel efficiency can address both rising fuel costs and the need to reduce CO2 emissions and is therefore a high priority in future aircraft design. The research proposed here is aimed at drag reduction through novel unconventional aircraft configurations, innovative aerodynamic concepts, and flow control. It spans both the development of algorithms for aerodynamic and multidisciplinary optimization and their application to unconventional configurations and flow control.

飞机制造业面临着燃料成本上升和环境问题的双重挑战。因此，航空业致力于到2050年将航空业的总体二氧化碳排放量减少50%，这将需要大量的技术进步。提高飞机燃油效率可以解决不断上升的燃油成本和减少二氧化碳排放的需求，因此是未来飞机设计的优先事项。这里提出的研究旨在通过新颖的非常规飞机构型、创新的空气动力学概念和流动控制来减少阻力。它涵盖了空气动力学和多学科优化算法的发展及其在非常规构型和流动控制中的应用。
