Abstract

This paper discussed procedures developed for the design/optimization of large-scale aerospace systems; using the iterative local global optimization (ILGO) - procedure. The ILGO procedure obviates the need for nested optimization loops in the design of a complex system decomposed into several subsystems. A new object-based scripting tool is developed and used to analyze an advanced tactical fighter with an exergy-based objective. The results are compared with those obtained using a weight-based objective.
