The paper presents the experience gained while designing aircraft in unconventional configuration using a methodology based on multidisciplinary optimization. An outline of the method involving the inclusion of dynamic stability analysis at an early design stage is presented. Several examples of aircraft designs with unconventional configurations using self-developed software were shown.
