Effect of Yam at Supersonic Speeds on Theoretical Aerodynamic Coefficients of Thin Pointed Wings With Several Types of Trailing Edge

Abstract

Expressions are obtained for the aerodynamic coefficients of thin pointed wings with three types of trailing edge. The derivation is based on an equation previously derived for the pressure distribution on a thin yawed delta wing at supersonic speeds. For a semivertex angle of tan -1 0.4, the effect of yaw on the lift coefficient, the wave-drag coefficient, the center of pressure, and the rolling-moment coefficient of a thin pointed wing is compared for three types of trailing edge.
