Numerical optimizations of the two-dimensional WIG vehicle considering aerodynamic characteristics and aerodynamic center of height have been performed and analyzed candidates of optimal shapes (Pareto set). As the results of the multi-objective optimization, one hundred fourteen Pareto optima (potential solutions) are obtained at thirty evolutions of the generation.
