This work proposes a novel formulation for the aeroelastic analysis of aircraft wings based on the conjoined use of the aerodynamic unsteady vortex lattice method (UVLM) and the structural high-order accurate discontinuous Garlerkin (DG) method. The advantages of the proposed approach, such as the ease of UVLM-DG coupling and the high-order accuracy of the DG method, are discussed in the paper.
