This document presents in viewgraph form techniques for the optimal design of aerospace vehicles which take into account vehicle shape, aerodynamic performance, and weight minimization. Methods include multilevel optimization with linear decomposition, multi-constraint optimization, global sensitivity matrix, and calculation of sensitivity derivatives using both first and second order derivatives. The effects of including flexibility in the optimization is discussed.
