In the framework of the Coordinated Research Centre 880 (Sonderforschungsbereich 880) the fundamentals of an environmental friendly future regional aircraft are being developed. Therefore, an engine with a bypass ratio of 17 for the target reference aircraft mission has to be designed resulting in an increased propulsive efficiency. In order to reduce the adverse viscous drag effects of a large intake for such ultra high bypass ratio engines, the intake will be reduced in its length. With this background, the engine installation position was chosen above the wing to realize some noise shielding effects as well as inflow straightening effects. To investigate the inflow situation and interaction a suitable transonic fan stage has to be developed. The paper describes the design process starting from aircraft specifications to an engine performance model and a preliminary fan stage design. The preliminary fan stage design procedure relies on the isentropic simple-radial equilibrium equation. The blade sections are parabolic mean lines with cubic thickness distributions. During the design process special attention has been drawn on the supersonic flow approaching the rotor leading edge resulting in a complex shock structure. The shock structure goes hand-in-hand with the incidence chosen. Firstly, a peak isentropic efficiency of 87 percent was achieved with a large inand outlet duct. Secondly, numerical simulations using isolated nacelle flow by cutting away the inlet duct show an increase in isentropic efficiency to almost 88 percent at design point. To summarize, numerical verifications show consistent results with the design specification and hence, methodology used. Further inflow investigations in case of the on-wing mounted engine will be part of the on-going research project.
