This paper examines the use of a Variable Camber Continuous Trailing Edge Flap (VCCTEF) system for aeroservoelastic optimization of a transport wingbox. The quasisteady and unsteady motions of the flap system are utilized as design variables, along with patch-level structural variables, towards minimizing wingbox weight via maneuver load alleviation and active flutter suppression. The resulting system is, in general, very successful at removing structural weight in a feasible manner. Limitations to this success are imposed by including load cases where the VCCTEF system is not active (open-loop) in the optimization process, and also by including actuator operating cost constraints.
