In this research, an automated civil aircraft geometry design and generation module is developed and presented. This tool, which is implemented in MATLAB and is part of an aircraft optimization framework, is capable of designing the aircraft's key geometrical parameters according to the mission requirements, generating the low-fidelity geometrical model in MATLAB, and developing the high-fidelity aircraft model in CATIA. The automated high-fidelity geometrical model has proven to be suitable for incorporation into high-fidelity structure and aerodynamic analyses. The developed tool is implemented for the design of different conventional and novel geometries for a 72-passenger regional aircraft. The implementation has shown that a high level of customization can be achieved in the aircraft geometry design, which is critical for high-fidelity aircraft optimization.
