Keywords: response surface methodology, optimization, transonic

An efficient aerodynamic shape optimization method of transonic airfoil and wing using Response Surface Methodology is presented. By using present method the aerodynamic performance of the transonic airfoil and wing are greatly improved. This method is utility and valid and will be very attractive for practical use.
