The standard k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model and the γ-Reθ transition model were adopted to calculate the flow field of an Aerospatiale A-airfoil to verify the accuracy of both the numerical method and the grid topology at low speed. To verify the model accuracy of the laminar middle wing section configuration at high speed, the flow field of a traditional airfoil was calculated, and the result compared with those of the wind tunnel test under the same condition. Finally, the airfoil profile was optimized for the stall separation of the laminar middle wing section. The result showed that the modified airfoil could retard the development of the separation bubble at the leading edge, and the starting of separation was delayed from the angle of attack 8° to 12°. Furthermore, the modified wing section effectively maintained the distribution of the pressure coefficient under the high speed cruising condition with a better aerodynamic characteristic compared with the original one.
