This paper investigates the design of a morphing Shock Control Bump, capable of reducing the penalties of wave drag on transonic airfoils. A structural optimization is executed to flnd the optimum actuation method to achieve the required morph, whilst placing the structure in a minimum state of strain. Discrete actuation points at which vertical forces are applied form the decision variables for optimization. Two objective functions are developed to quantify the quality of a morph in three dimensions. Results of minimizing them both individually, and as a combined objective are presented. Finally a variable boundary condition is employed, which enables a comparable morph to be achieved with fewer actuation points.
