Development of the triplet singularity for the analysis of wings and bodies in supersonic flowA supersonic triplet singularity was developed which eliminates internal waves generated by panels having supersonic edges. The triplet is a linear combination of source and vortex distributions which gives directional properties to the perturbation flow field surrounding the panel. The theoretical development of the triplet singularity is described together with its application to the calculation of surface pressures on wings and bodies. Examples are presented comparing the results of the new method with other supersonic methods and with experimental data.
