The optimization of a two-dimensional three-element airfoil (L1T2) is considered. The flow simulations were obtained for two angles of attack and a multi-objective design exploration for this configuration has been carried out using Genetic Algorithm. The Pareto fronts provide optimal solutions for different optimization criteria.
