%X Efficiency and Stage Weight [Inlet stage specific Area] are two important design issues which demand specific attention in the design of aero space compressors. In this paper these two objectives were optimized using elitist multi objective genetic algorithm, otherwise known as NSGA-II (Non dominated sorted Genetic Algorithm-II) which was developed by Kalyan Moy Deb [2002]. Lingen Chen and Fengrui Sun (2005) implemented optimum design of a subsonic axial flow compressor stage using mean line prediction method and taking 12 design variables and three objective functions. In the present approach two objective functions were formulated taking 5 design variables into account. The results showing optimal front for the two objectives problem is presented and the sensitivity analysis results of influencing design variables are shown.
