—Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation method has attracted considerable application in many different areas such as statistical parameter estimation, feedback control, simulation-based optimization, signal & image processing, and experimental design. In this paper, its performance as a viable optimization tool is demonstrated by applying it first to a simple wing geometry design problem for which the objective function is described by an empirical formula from aircraft design practice and then it is used in a transonic fan blade design problem in which the objective function is not represented by any explicit function but is estimated at each design iteration by a computational fluid dynamics algorithm for solving the Navier-Stokes equations I. INTRODUCTION he need for solving multivariate optimization problems is pervasive in engineering, the physical and social sciences. The characteristic features of such problems are the presence of a large number of design variables, complex constraints, and even discrete design parameter values. A number of optimization algorithms, both local and global optimization algorithms have been developed for optimizing such problems. Besides deterministic methods, stochastic methods such as genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) algorithm etc have recently found applications in practical engineering design optimization problems. These algorithms are all stochastic in nature and easily implemented in robust computer codes as compared with deterministic methods. However, SA and GA methods require large number of function evaluations and relative long computation time especially in the case of complex design problems. One
