Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Trefftz plane induced-drag resource and the existing OpenAeroStruct analysis flow. Identify the entry point where drag is currently computed, then determine how the requested analysis should integrate with it. Done means induced drag is computed using Trefftz plane analysis and is covered by the project's relevant validation or regression checks.
