Aerodynamics of Supersonic Aircraft

An integrated system for the analysis of supersonic configurations consists of an executive driver and eight basic computer programs that build up force coefficients of an selected configuration. System employs modified linearized theory for calculation of surface pressures and employs supersonic-area-rule concepts in combination with linearized theory for calculation of aerodynamic force coefficients.

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

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.
