Paper Details

Consider an infinitely thin flat plate of chord c at an angle of attack a in a supersonic flow. The pressures on the upper and lower surfaces are different but constant over each surface; i.e., pu(s) = c1 and p1(s) = c2, where c1 and c2 are constants and c2 > c1. Ignoring the shear stress, calculate the location of the center of pressure.
