Summary

A number of authors (e.g., Refs. 1 and 2) have dealt with the problem of uniform two-dimensional supersonic flow past a thin oscillating aerofoil, whose angle of incidence to the main stream is small. In this special case, the effects of vorticity are negligible, while the fields of flow on either side of the aerofoil may be treated on the same footing.

The object of this paper is to deal with the more general case in which the aerofoil performs small oscillations about a fixed position, in which its incidence to the main stream is appreciable.
