Even in multidisciplinary aircraft design, most aspects of nonlinear controllability are only considered in later design phases. Hence, control considerations are not used to inform the overall design of the airframe. This paper presents a control-aware controller-agnostic design optimization framework that integrates nonlinear controllability constraints, which are informed by the solutions to optimal control problems, into the multidisciplinary design process. To implement the optimization, procedures to evaluate the sensitivity of the controllability constraint to variations in the design variables are defined. A supersonic aircraft case study illustrates the methodology and the steps involved in the process. The proposed approach enables the integration of control-related constraints into gradient-based design optimization.
