description The paper considers a design process of an aerodynamic rudder, which structure comprises the skin of constant thickness, a load-bearing structure and a trimmed nose that plays the role of an anti-flutter balancer. The aim of the work is to set and solve the design problem of a rational structural and technological solution of the rudder that meets the requirements of strength, rigidity, aeroelastic stability and minimum mass. To solve this problem, a design algorithm for the rudder, using topological and parametric optimization, is proposed. The main parameters of the design area and the trimmed nose required for topological optimization are determined. The ANSYS Workbench software package was used for the finite element analysis and topological optimization. Based on the results of optimization, post-processing was carried out. A structural and technological solution, that combines structural layouts with constant and variable width of the trimmed nose, was proposed. An analysis of the stress-strain state was carried out, and it was found that the designed structure meets the strength requirements for the given design case. A scheme for solving the parametric optimization problem of the rudder under the condition of aeroelastic stability is proposed. Within the framework of solving this problem, a flutter study was conducted, using a multi-mode model, which makes it possible to study the rudder and body-rudder flutter forms of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with aerodynamic rudders. The results of the flutter study for the design mode of the UAV flight are obtained in the form of dependencies of the critical flutter velocity and frequency on the average width of the trimmed nose. The analysis of these dependencies allowed us to derive the optimal values of the trimmed nose parameters from the minimum weight condition for two rudder configurations: with a constant and variable width of the trimmed nose.
