Keywords: fe model, multilevel algorithm, multidisciplinary approach

A new algorithm of searching rational composite layouts for nonconventional airframe concepts has been developed. The algorithm is based on the multilevel approach developed in TsAGI for investigations at the initial stage of designing. The results of weight efficiency investigation of the composite «Flying wing» structure are represented.
