This study investigates the implementation of wing shape control using control surfaces to reduce drag and enhance aerodynamic performance. It evaluates several aerodynamic
modeling methods with focus on drag—namely, the Vortex Lattice Method, Doublet Lattice Method, and 3D Panel Method. Drag optimization was conducted on the D150 aircraft model, representative of short- to medium-range configurations, to determine the optimal control surface scheduling. The analysis included wings with aspect ratios of 9.7 and 11.2, exploring three distinct control surface layouts to ascertain the most effective control surface layout. The findings indicate that a drag reduction ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% is achievable on the wing with a nominal aspect ratio using 10 multifunctional control surfaces, underscoring the potential of wing shape control in improving aircraft efficiency.
