15.1.1.1 Quiz
In subsonic flow, the aerodynamic coefficient dependency upon the small parameters is given in Table 15.1. In supersonic flow, the aerodynamic coefficient dependency upon the small parameters is given in Table 15.2.

At M0 — 0.7, using Prandtl-Glauert correction one finds
15.1.1.3 Drag Coefficient
If the drag coefficient of the same profile at a — 0 and M0 — 1.4 is (Cd)M0—1.4 — 0.02, the drag at M0 — 2. is given by © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015

At M0 = 2. if a — 5° then
The drag coefficient at M0 = 0.7 is
(Cd )M0=0.7 = 0
since this is a 2-D, inviscid, subsonic flow.
