A case study is presented of the design of efficient propfan transport aircraft configurations, employing standard subsonic and transonic computed codes that have been modified to account for slipstream effects. After numerically simulating the aerodynamics of the interaction of the wing/nacelle configuration with the swirling slipstream, interference effects are assessed and design procedures are provided which may reduce adverse interference phenomena. These procedures are demonstrated for the case of the design of a Mach 0.8-cruise turboprop aircraft.
