    Abstract
    In this article, the optimization of the low-pressure compressor blades is considered. The main research method was the joint use of the ANSYS CFX and IOSO PM software complexes. To improve the LPC characteristics, new models of blades with control of the midline curvature through the camber were developed, which improved the aerodynamics for supersonic flow modes. An original method of optimization problem decomposition is also proposed, which allows to significantly save the computing resources used. Optimization of the blades reduced the loss of kinetic energy and allowed to increase efficiency while preserving the performance parameters and dimensions of the LPC.
