Current activities

Yicheng is currently working on the GENUS aircraft conceptual design environment. GENUS is a multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization environment that has been developing in the Aircraft Design Group since 2012. GENUS has been applied to the conceptual design of hypersonic launchers and transports, conventional and blended-wing-body airliners, supersonic transports, tailless combat UAVs. There are ongoing projects under development in GENUS. Yicheng is now leading the development of GENUS and cooperating with other researchers to their projects.
