Missiles were used for long distances in the past. Today, short, medium and long-range missiles are available. Missile systems are increasingly preferred because they can reach the target in a timely, faster, and accurately with the development of technology. In this paper, a review of aerodynamic shape optimization is proposed for a missile. The main aim of this article is to research and consider aerodynamic shape optimization methods that are especially used for missile aerodynamics. For this purpose, previous studies are examined to determine optimization methods that are obtained optimum geometry in terms of aerodynamic coefficients and flight performance for a missile. In this conference article, firstly, definition and aerodynamic shape optimization methods are given. The previous studies are then mentioned and classified. Lastly, the results of research of the missile aerodynamics are briefly explained for the future works.  }, number={4}, publisher={ISRES Publishing}
