title = "Aeroelastic tailoring of a wing box in subsonic compressible regime",
abstract = "The bend-twist coupling of a wing box built with unbalanced composite laminates can be used to improve an aircraft's range. Two techniques to find the best thicknesses and fibres angle distribution are described in this work. A heuristic approach is applied inspired by physical understanding of the problem. An aircraft's range is evaluated by a quasi-static aeroelastic model, which accounts for the interaction between aerodynamic forces and elastic deformations. Effects of compressibility are also considered.",
