I'm trying to find the optimized (CD = min) controls deflection for a swept flying wing and a given design point( best glide ratio or climb ratio), the wing has 3 controls per side.
I'm in doubt about the results from ASB (neuralfoil), specifically when I compare them to AVL or AVL+Xfoil.
For best climb ratio I got the following results from ASB:
Interesting are the low deflections for a dCL of 0.195, the shift of nearly 3% in static margin and a dAlpha of 2.6°.
CL = 0.609 is the point for best climb found by ASB.
If I use AVL with these deflections the results look like this:
which gives dCL = 0.03, SM shift = 0 % and dAlpha = 0.33°.
With AVL+Xfoil:
which gives dCL = 0.031, SM shift = 0.1 % and dAlpha = 0.57°. The best climb ratio for this calculation is around CL = 0.64 and not
within reach with these deflections.
I don't know where these discrepancies come from, is it a shortcoming of ASB/Neuralfoil or is my setup of the script wrong.

Hey Peter and followers,
I'm trying to find the optimized (CD = min) controls deflection for a swept flying wing and a given design point( best glide ratio or climb ratio), the wing has 3 controls per side.

My code is as follows:
and the airfoil:
Is there a solution for this problem?
