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

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.NACA TN No. 1991."December 1949."Includes bibliographical references.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.
