Within this work, an approach to integrate the combined application of hybrid laminar flow control and variable camber into the preliminary aircraft design suite MICADO is presented. The authors apply this methodology to a turbulent mid-range technology demonstrator. The goal is to demonstrate the potential of the combined application of the two technologies on overall aircraft design level.
