Keywords: computational algorithms, configuration design

There has been increasing complexity in fighter aircraft design. The new emerging head-on air-to air missiles require the fighters to manoeuvre in six independent degrees of freedom. For the accurate analysis and design task, the computational alogrithms have advanced in the recent past. These algorithms also apply for computational electromagnetics for stealth featuring of configurations. Subject write-up brings out the growth in computational algorithms, optimal grid generation techniques and requirement of parallel computations for speedup.
