A multidisciplinary optimization procedure is developed for the design of high speed prop-rotors. The objectives are to simultaneously maximize the propulsive efficiency in high speed cruise and the rotor figure of merit in hover. Since the problem involves multiple design objectives, multiobjective function formulation techniques are used. Two different multiobjective function procedures, the Kreisselmeier-Steinhauser function approach and the Minimum Sum
