In the frame of the DLR PrOpti-project, the DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology is utilizing a surrogate based optimization approach built around a high-fidelity RANS aerodynamic analysis for the multi-disciplinary design of aircraft propeller blades to meet the increasingly challenging requirements for a high propulsive efficiency with low cabin and community noise levels
