USSAERO computer program development, versions B and C

Versions B and C of the unified subsonic and supersonic aerodynamic analysis program, USSAERO, are described. Version B incorporates a new symmetrical singularity method to provide improved surface pressure distributions on wings in subsonic flow. Version C extends the range of application of the program to include the analysis of multiple engine nacelles or finned external stores. In addition, nonlinear compressibility effects in high subsonic and supersonic flows are approximated using a correction based on the local Mach number at panel control points. Several examples are presented comparing the results of these programs with other panel methods and experimental data.
