A framework methodology for multidisciplinary multiobjective optimization and analysis is proposed. It is based on analytical aerothermodynamics and mass-modeling parameters of highly-integrated forebody-inlet configuration and representative hypersonic flight vehicle respectively. A complex configuration for a highly-integrated waverider forebody attached to planar compression ramps and planar sidewalled-inlet system is studied. Optimization and analytical solutions are obtained using SHWAMIDOF-FI design tool. Results show substantial improvement in geometric, performance and flow parameters as compared to baseline configuration.
