Supersonic Linearized Theory (Mo > 1)

The wave drag coefficient (Cd)a=0 is given by

dx 16 ґв[8] c 3в Vc/

(Cd )a=0 = (f’+(X )f + (f ‘-(X ))"

as seen in class.

Hence the lift and wave drag coefficients are:

The lift and wave drag upper bounds for the fin are

L = 2 pV[9] 2bc Cl = 106 N

D = 2pV2bc Cd = 82.9 N

The equilibrium equation along the vertical axis during horizontal cruise in dimen­sional form (neglecting the lift of the tail) reads:

The drag penalty is = 0.21, i. e. a 21 % increase in induced drag.
