dc.description.abstract	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 ratio. It is shown that this rule, and that of yon Karman for flow at sonic speed, are valid for shock-waves within the range over which the shock loss is proportional to the cube of the pressure rise. Experimental pressure distributions plotted according to this rule show good agreement, except for the position of the shock-wave on the surface.	en_US
