Results obtained in the German LuFo project ULTIMATE for the numerical aerodynamic design and analysis of a highly efficient transport aircraft with a backward swept wing and a long single-aisle fuselage are presented. Large efficiency due to large aspect ratio wings and using natural laminar flow. The final designed geometry defines the shape for a windtunnel model for a ETW windtunnel test
