Extract

Formulae are presented giving the centre of pressure of axi-symmetric bodies at zero incidence having profiles for which the drag is a minimum in Newtonian flow.

Boyd has suggested that a close correlation may exist between such profiles, and profiles derived from exact pressure distributions, in supersonic flow.
