Abstract

It is a general rule that the closer one is to the limits of what is possible, the more engineering is needed. Since the aerospace world often works near this limit, airplanes and spacecraft have seen some of the important applications of optimization. For example, the payload of a large rocket may comprise only a few percent of the takeoff weight. Thus any decrease in the weight of the structure may disproportionately increase the allowable payload.
