This study presents an overall aircraft design framework for aircraft sizing purposes. Multi-range missions are considered in the process for overall fuel economy optimization. The flight simulation process combines different-fidelity models for efficient mission analysis. The utility is demonstrated through fuel economy comparisons between single and multi-range mission-based designs.
