Keywords: particle swarm optimization, artificial fish swarm algorithm, social model; searching efficiency, aerodynamic optimization design

Social model developed in this paper simulates the process of human being making decisions. With the guidance of it, a new algorithm named Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Social Model is proposed and applied to airfoil and wing aerodynamic optimization design. Finally, satisfied results are obtained.
