A Generalized Advanced Propeller Analysis System (GAPAS) is being developed to provide both an optimized design and a performance evaluation capability. The technology areas incorporated in GAPAS include propeller aerodynamic performance, airfoil loading, acoustics, structural analysis and aeroelasticity. The propeller analyses include the most advanced, fully-developed technologies in a modular but unified system. The program will treat multi-bladed propellers having straight or swept blades operating on aircraft at speeds to Mach 0.8 and altitudes to 40,000 feet. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it will introduce the GAPAS program to the general industry; and second, since the GAPAS program will be made available for general applications, it is also intended to be a status report on the development stage of the program.
