This paper reviews the applicability of some conventional structural design practices to the analysis and design of very flexible aircraft. The effect of large structural deformations and the coupling between aeroelasticity and flight dynamics is investigated in different aspects of the aircraft structural design process, including aeroelastic stability, loads, and flight dynamics and control. This is illustrated with a numerical example of the static and dynamic responses of a representative high-altitude long-endurance vehicle. Suggestions are presented for the development of appropriate frameworks to design and analyze very flexible aircraft.
