Abstract
This chapter elaborates about aerodynamic design of section shapes for swept wings. Research on the aerodynamic design of the section is complementary to that on the three-dimensional design features. The whole essence of the cruising aerodynamic design of the type of wing under consideration is that it should be free from shockwave drag. There are other important features of the flow development that are strongly influenced by the section shape and that have to be taken into account in designing the section. It is immediately obvious that very great advantages would accrue if the necessary extension to this analysis, namely, a method for predicting pressure distributions with shock waves, could be based in some way on the subsonic distribution.
