Theoretical loading at supersonic speeds of flat swept-back wings with interacting trailing and leading edges / Doris Cohen.

By the method of superposition of conical flows, the load distribution is calculated for regions of a long swept-back wing behind the points at which the Mach lines from the trailing-edge apex intersect the leading edge. It is found that a good approximation on the load can be obtained by the applic...

Description
Summary:By the method of superposition of conical flows, the load distribution is calculated for regions of a long swept-back wing behind the points at which the Mach lines from the trailing-edge apex intersect the leading edge. It is found that a good approximation on the load can be obtained by the application of a fairly simple correction factor to the two-dimensional subsonic distribution. The similarity of two-dimensional flow is used to derive expressions for the loss of lift behind the Mach lines from the tips of the wing.
