| Abstract | Optimization has long been considered as a means to solve the aerodynamic design problem in a formal and general manner. Early work by Hicks, Murman, and Vanderplaats [1, 2] investigated this possibility for transonic airfoil flows, with the results being encouraging but showing some rather unexpected results and difficulties. These early efforts were characterized by relatively few design parameters being used, primarily due to the computational costs of black-box gradient calculation via finite-differencing and the limited available computer resources. |
