Non-stationary motion of purely supersonic wings

A general theory is presented for the calculation of the total forces acting on purely supersonic wings. The method applies to wings having an arbitrary downwash distribution (stationary or non-stationary) and is valid whenever all of the wing edges are supersonic. The general three-dimensional non-...
