The two-dimensional surface giving minimum pressure drag for given lift coefficient in supersonic flow is considered. The method adopted is a small perturbation of a plane surface; the pressure is expressed as a power ...
Stream surfaces from the flow through a plane shock wave are used as compression surfaces to obtain high lift to drag ratios. The inviscid performance of these compression surfaces is known exactly, and at given values of ...
Force measurements and flow patterns for six models, with the same ogive-cylinder body and various wings, are presented for a free streem Mach number of 4. Five of the wings were unswept, and the sixth was a 65° delta. ...
