Abstract

The paper presents in details the engineering models and optimization algorithms for a Multidisciplinary Design Optimization research framework developed within ESA's PRESTIGE PhD program. The application focuses on the conceptual design of classical unmanned Expendable Launch Vehicles, with future extensions to the early preliminary detail level and to more complex systems such as manned and reusable vehicles.
