Propfan-Swirl recovery vane (SRV) structure has received renewed attention because of its relatively simple transmission mechanism, weak blade tip interference, and its ability to bring propulsion efficiency gains to the propulsion system. Based on the design idea of blade element theory, the aerodynamic shape design of the transonic propfan-SRV was carried out by using the transonic high lift drag ratio airfoil. The twist angle and chord length of the transverse section blade of the SRV, as well as the diameter and sweep angle of the SRV, were taken as the optimization design variables. A dimensionality reduction optimization design method based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) was used to optimize the SRV. The results showed that the optimized SRV can bring 4.83% propulsive efficiency gain to the propulsion system, and make the velocity distribution of the flow field behind the propfan more uniform, which had a good swirl recovery effect and can be used as an efficient and low-carbon aviation power system alternative.
