This paper shows the results of the CASPER (Computational Aerodynamics System for Performance Evaluation and Research) that has been developed in Technical Research and Development Institute of Japan Defense Agency. The CASPER is a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)-based design system for the aerodynamic design of various advanced aircraft. The present CFD code consists of three-dimensional Euler analysis solver using structured and unstructured grids. In order to verify the code, transonic (free-stream Mach number M(sub infinity) = 0.9) and supersonic (M(sub infinity) = 1.2) flow fields around an F-16A aircraft configuration were computed. The computational results of lift, drag, pitching moment and pressure coefficients are in a good agreement with those of wind-tunnel experiments. It becomes clear that the CASPER is a very powerful tool for aerodynamic design of complete aircraft configurations.
