THE DRAG ON SLENDER POINTED BODIES IN SUPERSONIC FLOW

G. N. LANCE

( Department of Mathematics, King's College London )

The linearized theory of supersonic flow is used to determine the wave drag on slender pointed bodies, both of revolution and with an arbitrary cross-section. A simple deduction of von Kármán's expression for this drag is given and two alternative expressions for the drag are obtained by distinct methods. For a given body each of the new forms for the drag is simpler to manipulate than is the case with the classical expression due to von Kármán.
