Press The use and effectiveness of multiple objective optimization techniques in the formulation and solution of design problems are developed and demonstrated via an application to two types of helicopter design problems. The first problem deals with the determination of optimum flight parameters to accomplish a specified mission in the presence of three competing objectives. The second example addresses an optimum design of the main rotor blades of a helicopter involving eight objective functions.
