Aerodynamic design plays an important role in the aircraft design process as the concept selection, layout definition and major constraints for the following disciplines as systems, structures and manufacturing are heavily influenced by aero design considerations. Knowledge based engineering shape design tools and fast and advanced computational methods (CFD) are besides the windtunnel the major tools in use for design definition and verification. Fast and reliable CFD-methods allowing a quick evaluation of numerous design modifications as well as advanced methods capable to predict the complex flow around a complete aircraft in high-lift configuration are part of the design process. The ongoing development in grid-generators and CFD-codes capabilities to cope with complex configurations in combination with available computing power is currently leading to a significantly increased use of CFD as a tool for high-lift design tasks. As example for the multidisciplinary aerodynamic design process an extensive overview of the aerodynamic design work conducted for a "Megaliner" aircraft is given.
