The main objective of this has been the development awl maturation of a adjoint-based, viscous design techniques for Aerodynamic Shape Optimization (ASO) of complete aircraft configurations. We have followed a systematic approach in the development, validation and testing of our methods. In addition, we have carried out some preliminary work in the development of a mathematical environment for high-fidelity aero-structural optimization as a first step towards the realization of a high-fidelity multidisciplinary optimization disability. A number of significant milestones achieved in this process are detailed in the final report.
