A new reduced order through-flow analysis system for the preliminary design of axial turbomachines is presented. It has flexible models for losses, deviation, blockage, etc., uses real gas/liquid thermodynamics and handles flow and geometry at three spanwise locations. It is applicable to both compressors and turbines of either subsonic or supersonic flow type. The essential features of the system, including a comparison of its predictions with test data, are presented in the paper. NOMENCLATURE
