Abstract
Report presenting the zero-lift drag rise at low supersonic speeds computed by linearized theory for several wing-body-tail combinations and a comparison with experimental data. The results indicate that the computation method is capable of computing the drag rise at low supersonic speeds to an accuracy of about 20 percent.
