A gradient-based method coupled with a multilevel approach is proposed for shape design in aerodynamics. This method extends an existing multilevel gradient-based formulation to another type of control subspaces, i.e. considering another set of subparametrisations and prolongation operators. More precisely, Bézier control points associated with the property of degree elevation are involved instead of shape grid-points coordinates and polynomial interpolation. The good behaviour of the new formulation is demonstrated on a classical 2D nozzle inverse problem considering an adjoint formulation as well as an approximate gradient associated to a one-shot method.
