Description:
The paper presents asymptotic methods for high-aspect-ratio wings in transonic flow developed for straight unyawed wings and for oblique wings. They show that the three-dimensional mixed-flow calculations may be reduced to solving a set of two-dimensional problems at each span station; the development of this theory and the related computational studies are reviewed. Differences between the piloted (oblique) wing, the swept-back wing, and the swept-forward-wing in the induced upwash are discussed; examples of similarity solutions are demonstrated for high subcritical and slightly supercritical component flows, and comparisons made with relaxation solutions of a full potential equation. The examples include oblique and symmetric swept wings, and the adequacy of the existing full-potential computer code is examined.
