Gradient-Based Aerodynamic Optimization of an Airfoil with Morphing Leading and Trailing Edges

This article presents a gradient-based aerodynamic optimization framework and investigates optimum deformations for a transonic airfoil equipped with morphing leading and trailing edges. Specifically, the proposed optimization framework integrates an innovative morphing shape parameterization with a...
