The drag increase beyond the critical Mach number is calculated by modifying the supersonic part of the Karman-Tsien pressure distribution on a profile. This is possible when the supersonic regions are not too large. The ...
A new law of similarity is given, valid for slender profiles in mixed transonic flow with negligible viscosity, according to which the cube of the Prandtl factor of any critical Mach number is proportional to the thickness ...
