In this paper, we present the application of evolutionary optimization methods to a demanding, industrially relevant engineering domain, the three-dimensional optimization of gas turbine stator blades. This optimization problem is high-dimensional search and computationally very expensive. We show that, despite of its difficulty, the problem is feasible. Our approach not only successfully optimizes the aerodynamic design but also yields interesting results from an engineering point of view.
