: Focus typically centers on lift-generating surfaces using curve and surface formulations.
Effective aerodynamic design hinges on a mathematical model that generates candidate shapes using a set of design variables. This parametric representation must balance flexibility (the range of possible shapes), conciseness (using a minimum number of variables), and robustness (the stability of the geometry generation process).

: Key parameters like aspect ratio —the ratio of wingspan to wing area—are critical; higher aspect ratios generally reduce drag but increase weight and structural bending. : Focus typically centers on lift-generating surfaces using
