Modified PARSEC (PARametric SECtion Method) is used as a parameterization method to describe airfoil shapes by few number of parameters, which is suitable for airfoil design optimization. To calculate these parameters, GA (Genetic Algorithm) is usually used. However, it has been observed that for some airfoils, Modified PARSEC method generates irregular shapes when GA is used. To overcome this issue, a new method using Pseudo-Inverse Matrix is developed. The proposed method is applied to various airfoils including the airfoil sections of the CRM (Common Research Model) wing, and a two-dimensional CFD code is used to carry out the aerodynamic analysis. Subsequently, the three-dimensional CRM wing is reproduced using the proposed method and its aerodynamic characteristics are analyzed with Euler equations. The results show that reproduced geometry is almost identical to that of the original CAD data in terms of aerodynamic characteristics, which shows the applicability and usefulness of the method.
