Carbon-based fuels released CO2 is identified as the main responsible for climate change. Several initiatives have been proposed in EU to limit the usage of these fuels, such as the Clean Sky 2 U-HARWARD project. One of the tasks was to study a promising unconventional configuration: the Strut-Braced Wing (SBW). Particular attention must be posed on its design.
