The article presents a discussion on the airframe and aerodynamic shape optimization of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It cites the traditional approach to optimization through the use of gradient-based techniques. It also cites the emerging techniques being implemented such as evolutionary algorithms (EAs). It describes the formulation and application of the techniques for aerofoil shape optimization.
