Calculation of Supersonic Aerodynamic Influence Matrices: A Numerical Method for Wings of Arbitrary Planform Suitable for Solution on the Digital Computer

Abstract

This paper describes a routine for calculating supersonic aerodynamic influence matrices, which is suitable for the digital computer. The method is first applied to a wing with straight leading edges, streamwise tips and a supersonic trailing edge. Then, an extension is given which enables wings of arbitrary planform (including those with subsonic trailing edges) to be treated without revision of the original programme.
