A computational system for aerodynamic design and analysis of supersonic aircraft. Part 2: User's manual

W. D. Middleton, J. L. Lundry, Roger G. Coleman

Open publisher page 12 citations

Abstract

An integrated system of computer programs was developed for the design and analysis of supersonic configurations. The system uses linearized theory methods for the calculation of surface pressures and supersonic area rule concepts in combination with linearized theory for calculation of aerodynamic force coefficients. Interactive graphics are optional at the user's request. This user's manual contains a description of the system, an explanation of its usage, the input definition, and example output.
