The method of latin squares was applied to a three-dimensional mission space for a typical ground attack mission profile and independently to a three-dimensional design space to select input conditions for an aircraft sizing program. For each mission, the output take-off-gross-weights (TOGW) and corresponding design points determined a quadratic polynomial for TOGW in the three design variables by least squares regression analysis. The minimum TOGWs corresponding to each of the thirteen selected mission points were then determined and these were fit by a quadratic polynomial in the three mission variables. The result is a simple algebraic relationship between mission requirements and TOGW for geometrically optimized fighter aircraft. In a second application of these methods, two engine variables were included in the design space.(Buehn)
