Combined Direct/Inverse Three-Dimensional Transonic Wing Design.

Abstract

A combined direct/inverse three-dimensional transonic wing design method is presented. The method is built around the ZEBRA II transonic potential flow solution algorithm to provide a design method that is particularly suited for use on a vector computer. The development of a pilot design computer code and a baseline design/analysis code is described. Results are presented that verify the accuracy and consistency of the design method. (Author)
