Abstract

Consideration was given to the problem of minimizing the total drag (sum of the pressure drag and the friction drag) of a slender, two-dimensional, symmetric body at zero angle of attack in hypersonic flow under the assumption that the distribution of pressure coefficients is Newtonian and that the friction coefficient is constant.
