This paper presents a new technique for designing the superso nic blade airfoil of axial flow compressor
whose meanline consists of multi circular and leading arc is elliptic.This new method makes the design flexible to control the curvature distribution of meanline
effective to control the diffusion factor of designed blade
and it enhances flow to resist separation.The ellipse arc may depress the acceleration of supersonic flow in inlet area
decrease the strength of inlet shock wave.The ideal curvature in front part of designed blade may reasonably form shock position
so the shock loss is reduced greatly.Two kinds of airfoil are modified by means of this new method.Flow fields of cascade are calculated by the finite volume TDM method.The results show this new technique is an excellent application to engineering.
