Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and numerical optimization technologies, this paper aims to develop a suit of design methods and tools for laminar supercritical airfoils. A series of laminar supercritical airfoils are designed for cruise Mach number from 0.72-0.74 and lift coefficient from 0.6-0.72.
