Transient Aerodynamic Behavior of an Airfoil Due to Different Arbitrary Modes of Nonstationary Motions in a Supersonic Flow.

摘要

The investigation of drag-characteristic behavior of the wing in steady flow is omitted entirely from this paper, because it is not a difficult matter for a designer to calculate the drag characteristics with the information contained in this paper and available solutions of the steady case. The present investigation was conducted at the Johns Hopkins University under the sponsorship and with the financial assistance of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The author would like to express his appreciation to Misses Vivian O'Brien and Patricia Clarken for their assistance in carrying out the project.
