A rapid aeroelasticity optimization method based on the stiffness characteristics was proposed in the present study. Large time expense in static aeroelasticity analysis based on traditional time domain aeroelasticity method is solved. Elastic axis location and torsional stiffness are discussed firstly. Both torsional stiffness and the distance between stiffness center and aerodynamic center have a direct impact on divergent velocity. The divergent velocity can be adjusted by changing the correlative structural parameters. The relation between structural parameters and divergent velocity is introduced to aeroelasticity optimization design as a constraint condition. After optimization, the structural and aerodynamic characteristics have a large improvement while satisfying the constraint conditions. The optimization method can be well used in high aspect ratio wing and has great computational efficiency.
