How can I use a genetic algorithm for aerodynamics?

I want to make a genetic algorithm to determine the most aerodynamic shape for a rocket nosecone across a range of speeds. I want the contour to be a radially symmetrical cubic bezier curve. How do I go about doing this?

Genetic algorithm should be helpful in this problem. If you have a fitness function which captures the relationship of the shape and air resistance. You can use genetic algorithm to find an global optimum which is the most aerodynamic shape.

As Yuebin said, you need a fitness function to apply this technique. We're not (in general) aerospace engineers, so we can't possibly provide you with an aerodynamic fitness function for a radially symmetrical cubic bezier curve-shaped nose-cone. You'll have to do some research on the topic first.
