  1. Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Truss-Braced Wing Aircraft Team Members: Denis Aliaj, John Mark Mines, Justin Price, Jason Tran, Matthew Wojciechowski Advisor: Dr. Joseph Schetz and Dr. Rakesh Kapania The goal of this project is to apply Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) techniques on the Antonov An-225 cargo aircraft to minimize the take-off gross weight (TOGW) of the aircraft through the addition of a truss-braced wing. Key Features: • MDO considers the aerodynamic, structural, propulsive, and performance aspects of the design. • Utilizes either gradient-based optimization or genetic algorithms to find potential global optimum • Structural analysis of cantilever and truss-braced wing configurations conducted to gain understanding of shear and bending behavior of the wings. Deliverables: • Optimized truss-braced wing configurations • Analysis of performance benefits and trends • Graphical 3D model in OpenVSP Team Photo Here
