Abstract In modern aviation, the engine-related proportion of the direct operating costs (DOC) is about one quarter. Thereby, the engine-related costs are devided into three roughly equivalent parts: depreciation/financing, fuel and maintenance and overhaul (Rupp in DLRK 2001, 2001). Consequently, an efficient and high technical quality maintenance has a great impact on the DOC. Nowadays, the transition from the exhaust gas temperature based to the condition based maintenance is developing. Thereby, the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) companies provide tailored maintenance actions for each jet engine, depending on the engine history and operation conditions. Obviously, a detailed knowledge of the influence of the different engine components and their features on the engine performance is necessary to accomplish a condition based maintenance. In order to illustrate this, the example of the high pressure compressor (HPC) is shown: The HPC has a strong impact on the gas turbine efficiency and the specific fuel consumption (SFC). Nevertheless, the HPC blading is classified coarsely into serviceable, scrap and repairable. The repairable blades are repaired by a few repair processes, without evaluating the blade geometry in detail. With a detailed knowledge of the geometric main parameters to the aerodynamic performance and their interactions, future repair processes could maintain suited maintenance actions as well as tailored blade sets for the HPC. Therefore, a more efficient maintenance could be achieved to meet future requirements of the costumers. This paper contributes a part to this maintenance development. Therefore, a design of experiments and a sensitivity analysis will be carried out for a HPC-aft stage and compared with previous gained results of a HPC-front stage. Therefore, 700 different stage geometries will be analyzed for their aerodynamic performance and imported to a Kriging Method to generate a meta-model. This meta-model allows a sensitivity analysis for individual geometric properties. The detected sensitivities will be compared to those of the front stage. Changes of the behavior of the stages through the HPC could help the MRO companies to focus on appropriate geometric properties and, therefore, suitable repair processes for each stage and airfoil.
