Advanced Aircraft Design presents a quasi-analytical optimization approach based on a concise set of sizing equations. Objectives are aerodynamic efficiency, mission fuel, empty weight and maximum takeoff weight. Independent design variables studied include design cruise altitude, wing area and span and thrust or power loading. Principal  features of integrated concepts such as the blended wing and body and highly non-planar wings are also covered.
