By combining theory of linearized characteristics with hypersonic small disturbance approximation, explicit expressions are derived for shock shape, flow field, surface pressure distribution, and aerodynamic forces for delta wing and half-cone combination traveling at hypersonic speeds and small incidence; theory is applied to configuration for which surface pressure measurements are available; theoretical and experimental pressure distributions agree quite closely on body surface; but in wing-body junction and on wing, theory predicts pressures that are too low.
