This paper aims at presenting the design of a LH2-powered Strut-Braced Dry Wing configuration (SBDW) done within the Clean Aviation UP Wing project. In this framework, ONERA, Technical University of Delft and University of Stuttgart are setting up a common multidisciplinary design process to explore the design space offered by such a configuration where the wing no longer bears the function of carrying the fuel as the cryogenic LH2-tank are located at the rear of the fuselage. The final paper will detail the overall sizing process as well as the disciplinary modules (Structure, aerodynamic, handling quality and aero-elasticity) and will present the overall performance of the optimized concept.
