Pressure Distribution and Aerodynamic Properties of High‐Speed Aircraft: A Method for Determining the Main Aerodynamic Properties of High‐Speed Aeroplanes

Abstract

Using the results of earlier investigations, a method for determination of the velocity or pressure distribution and the aerodynamic properties of a low‐aspect‐ratio swept wing with slender body of elliptical cross‐section and vertical tail surface, having arbtrary form, is briefly presented. The method can be used for the prediction of the load distribution, aerodynamic forces and moments on inclined slender wing, body and vertical tail combinations travelling at subsonic or supersonic speeds.
