Notes:
With the aid of the elliptic continuation method, transonic aerofoils for two different purposes have been optimized. The design process is described and it is shown that the optimization is more difficult for higher design Mach numbers. The results of experimental investigations confirmed the good aerodynamic performances of the designed aerofoils, although no real shock-free pressure distributions could be achieved in the experiments and the highest aerodynamic efficiencies occurred always at higher lift coefficients, with pressure distributions already having shock waves.
