This paper investigates transonic shock control on the RAE2822 airfoil using a deployable shock control bump designed as a morphing structure. The optimal location and shape of the bump are found with respect to minimizing drag. Structural morphing is achieved via optimizer controlled loads, constrained to respect material limitations. A systematic structured mesh generator, capable of refinement in the boundary layer and bump region, is used to generate grids of high quality for CFD analysis. Static aeroelasticity is included in the form of a weak coupling between structural and aerodynamic models. A drag reduction of 4.2 % is achieved with the bump deployed, with the geometry returning to that of the original airfoil when actuation is removed.
