Abstract
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
