An analytical model of a 3-D airfoil was used to study an optimization procedure formulated to enhance stability of an airfoil through integrated structural and control synthesis. This procedure is discussed together with preliminary results. These results show that a sensitivity derivative approach utilizing structural parameters, weighting matrix parameters and optimal control parameters (in this case, the design airspeed) is effective in determining the best structural/control design.
