Abstract
This project proposes a method for the design of a Blended Winglet configuration using a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm aided with AVL's VLM aerodynamic evaluations and takeoff estimations using an iterative algorithm. The results obtained with the evaluated method of design were very satisfactory and close with the theoretical estimations, showing a 2.96% of total cruise drag reduction.
