The Slender Wing with a Half Body of Revolution Mounted Beneath

Summary

The slender-body theory of Ward is applied to a configuration consisting of a slender, pointed wing, carrying directly beneath it a pointed half-body of revolution divided along a meridian plane.

Expressions for lift and drag due to incidence are found which are valid in both subsonic and supersonic flow if the flow is attached. The lift result can be used to find pitching moment. For the supersonic case the drag at zero incidence is also found and the expressions for a conical configuration are developed so that a limiting form of these can be compared with the results of ref. 3.
