Summary

The proper treatment of the pre-entry and post-exit streamtubes of supersonic aircraft and their “corresponding” windtunnel models was considered in some depth for supersonic fighter designs, and investigated in wave drag research, but as a result of the cancellations of the major supersonic fighter programmes the results were not published. This note sets out the salient conclusions.

The development of the first supercritical air intake cowl is also outlined.
