CHAPTER 9
9.1 For small perturbations, u/V, v/V and w/V << 1. Consequently, in Eq. (9.4), the
squares of these terms (second-order terms) can be ignored in comparison to the first-order
terms. For example

9.4 Consider a flat plate of length (chord) c at an angle of attack, , to the supersonic freestream,
as sketched in the Figure below.
From both shock-expansion theory and linear theory, we know the pressure distributions over the
top and bottom surfaces are uniform, but are of different magnitudes, as sketched in the above

shock-expansion theory was applied to obtain the drag on this airfoil. Here, we will apply linear

9.10 Supersonic thin airfoil theory predicts that the wave drag coefficient will decrease with
increasing Mach number. What does this say about the drag force itself? Does it increase or
decrease with M? Indeed, intuition might say that a body undergoing a continuous increase in

M near one, the denominator of Eq. (4) may dominate the drag, and cause it to decrease with an

Return for a moment to Section 1.1, and the history-making flight of Chuck Yeager in the
Bell XS-1 on October 14, 1947. On that day, for the first time in history, a piloted airplane flew
faster than the speed of sound, reaching a maximum Mach number of 1.06. But from our above
discussion, Yeager should have entered a region of decreasing drag, and should have had no
trouble sliding up to Mach 1.4. The result is misleading. In reality, as we know from shock-
expansion theory, as M increases above one, the shock strength increases continuously, and
hence the wave drag must increase monotonically above M = 1.
