Turbofan Engine Sizing and Tradeoff Analysis via Signomial Programming

This paper presents a full one-dimensional core and fan flowpath turbofan optimization model, based on first principles, and meant to be used during aircraft conceptual design optimization. The model is formulated as a signomial program, which is a type of optimization problem that can be solved loc...
