Abstract
The application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to the design of commercial transport aircraft has revolutionized the process of aerodynamic design. Today, CFD stands alongside the wind tunnel in terms of importance. The wind tunnel and CFD each have strengths and limitations, and when used together in complementary roles they enable the achievement of aerodynamic design objectives that previously were not achievable. Today's role of CFD in airplane design is described and a number of specific examples that illustrate the contribution of CFD are given. The limitations of CFD are summarized and the challenges of the future described.
