Calculation of the wave drag of blunt wings with a subsonic leading edge

A high-speed wave drag calculation method based on the linear theory with corrections for the flow past a parabolic nose is proposed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 185–188, January–February, 1988.The authors are grateful to G. P. Voskresenskii, O. V. Tvanov, and V. A. Stebunov for supplying and assisting with the use of the nonlinear calculation program.
