This paper presents a jig twist optimization study of Mach 0.8 Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) aircraft using FUN3D. The solver has been validated against wind tunnel test data. An aeroelastic model deformation correction method is developed for the wind tunnel model to improve the validation. The flight condition corresponding to Mach 0.8 and design lift coefficient 0.695 is selected for the TTBW aircraft jig twist optimization to reduce the drag coefficient. The static aeroelastic simulation module in FUN3D is used for the aeroelastic simulation. Three different orders of the Chebyshev polynomials are used as shape function to represent the variations of the jig twist distribution along the wing span. The preliminary optimization results show that the Mach 0.8 TTBW aircraft with the optimized jig twist achieves a drag reduction of about 5.7 counts at the design condition when 5 𝑡ℎ order Chebyshev polynomials are used as shape function.
