Abstract Current trends in aircraft design have seen the adoption of ultra-high aspect ratio (UHAR) wings. This wing characteristic reduces the induced drag properties of the aerofoil, generating an improved fuel consumption rate. When analysing this kind of wing configuration, the aeroelastic properties must be considered, to ensure the aircraft remains airworthy throughout the whole performance envelope. This project will aim at validating and streamlining the process of performing fluid-structure interaction (FSI) studies for large aspect ratio wings for static aeroelasticity. By First carrying out a preliminary study into the effect of increasing aspect ratio, to the deformation expected. A parametric study using a transonic RAE2822 aerofoil using a loosely coupled one-way approach to FSI, to form the basis of discussion for the future approach to dynamic aeroelasticity in transonic regimes. For this study, the open-source code SU2 was utilised to perform a RANS fluid analysis to calculate the aerodynamic forces expected during normal flight conditions. The framework for the future development of a two-way analysis has been outlined with the intention of extending the static aeroelastic solver to incorporate dynamic analysis.
