The numerical simulation of the large scale science and engineering problem in the aerospace area relies on the support of High-Performance Parallel Computing(HPPC)and is the engine of the development of HPPC. The paper gives a survey of recent progress of HPPC in the aerospace area and a brief introducion of the HPPC environment. The relative research areas of HPPC of aerospace, including aerodynamic, aerothermal, chemical non-equilibrium, structure, heat protecion, Monte Carlo method and turbulence et al., are classified and described in detail. The dilemma of high parallel efficiency in scientitic computing and low use in engineering compuing, and the diversity of paralel applications and the lack of scientific paralel methods are concluded. Finally, the prospects of the future HPPC development in aerospace area are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
