Abstract

Supersonic Wing Nonlinear Aerodynamics computer program, LTSTAR, estimates nonlinear aerodynamics characteristics of wing at supersonic speeds. Program provides generally improved predictions of wing overall force and moment coefficients. LTSTAR is useful in design studies aimed at aerodynamic performance optimization and providing more-realistic tradeoff information for selection of wing planform geometry and airfoil section parameters.
