Application of reliability optimization to aircraft wings
Optimization and reliability of complex systems

The ONERA M6 wing (figure 10) was designed by Bernard Monnerie and his colleagues in 1972, within the framework of cooperation within AGARD (Advisory Group for Aerospace Research and Development), to provide experimental support for three-dimensional flow studies at transonic speeds and high Reynolds numbers, and for the validation of numerical flow simulations (conditions representative of real military and civil aircraft flights). It has a symmetrical profile and its dimensions are shown in figure 11.
