Keywords: high-lift, optimisation, evolutionary strategy, adjoint approach, mesh strategy

The paper presents the numerical optimisation activity carried out by DLR for the design of a wing-body aircraft in high-lift configuration. The purpose of the study is to assess the tools and methods needed to design the flap and slat setting using high-fidelity method in a limited wall clock time.
