The purpose of this book is to survey computational flow research on the design and analysis of supercritical wing sections supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at the Energy Research and Development Administration Mathematics and Computing Laboratory of New York University.

At present, there is considerable interest in supercritical wing technology for the development of aircraft designed to fly near the speed of sound. The main contribution is a computer program for the design of shockless transonic airfoils using the hodograph transformation and analytic continuation into the complex domain.

This handbook is a sequel to an earlier volume entitled "A Theory of Supercritical Wing Sections, with Computer Programs and Examples." We should like to make this material available here, since it is more convenient to use the design program in conjunction with data for a fairly broad range of examples.
