The wings of transport jets are becoming high aspect ratio to reduce induced drag. To alleviate excessive large deformation under gust conditions, flared hinged wings have been developed. In this study, multibody simulation considering geometrical nonlinearity based on absolute nodal coordinate formulation is developed for designing the flared hinged wings.
