The present job is focused on a full composite ultra-light aircraft, and has the main goal of evaluating the existing margins for the improvement of the vehicle performance through a dedicated optimization of the aerodynamic and structural properties. For what concerns the aerodynamic properties of the entire aircraft, at first the attention has been focused on the airfoil chosen for the wings. Then the analysis of the complete wing and aircraft has been carried out. The preliminary investigation on the structural properties of the aircraft has been concerning an accurate evaluation of the operational external loads in order to obtain a confident estimation of the structural solicitation parameters and the identification of the most stressed aircraft structural parts.
