MULTI-FIDELITY WING MASS ESTIMATION BASED ON A CENTRAL MODEL APPROACH 71th Annual Conference SAWE 2012 D. Böhnke, F. Dorbath, B. Nagel, V. Gollnick Integrated Aircraft Design, DLR-LY
…derive a new method for determination of the wing weight that features the quality of a physic based model but is still as easy and quick to evaluate as a handbook method… Chart 2SAWE 2012 > Daniel Böhnke >
