Abstract

The second-order slender-body solution is derived for an unyawed elliptic cone in supersonic flow. The result is used as the basis for a critique of various approximations in compressible flow theory: slender-body, linearized, first- and second-order thin-wing theories; edge corrections; and the method of linearized characteristics.
