description The purpose of this paper is to design aircraft wing using reliability-based design optimization concerned to fuzzy uncertainty variables. A possibilistic safety index-based design optimization (PSIBDO) with fuzzy uncertainties is proposed to overcome difficult tasks from the original probabilistic problem. The design problem is to minimize mass of a composite aircraft wing subject to aeroelastic and structural constraints through consideration of the material properties are the uncertainties. The design variables include aircraft wing structure dimensions. The reliability-based design approach is needed to alleviate such a problem. Due to the complexity of the aircraft wing structures design and aeroelastic analysis, nonprobability-based design is an alternative choice to increase computational efficiency in the design process. The optimum results show the efficiency of our proposed approach.
