This paper was written to provide an overview of the potential of using genetic algorithms (GA's) for aerospace design or to support aerospace design efforts. Genetic algorithms can design individual vehicle components, like the external aerodynamic shape, the internal supporting structure, the propulsion system, the autopilot, or just about any other system component that has requirements that can be mathematically represented and modeled. Genetic algorithms can also be used to support design studies through their ability to find optima for complicated multi-dimensional optimization topologies. This paper, which overviews multiple recent aerospace design efforts using genetic algorithms, was an invited paper presented at a joint NATO/Von-Karmen-Institute Workshop on Intelligent System held in Brussels, Belgium during May of 2002.
