A system for aerodynamic design and analysis of supersonic aircraft. Part 1: General description and theoretical development

W. D. Middleton, J. L. Lundry

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.
