The presence of tip stores influences both the aerodynamic and the aeroelastic performance of wings. Such effects are more pronounced in the transonic regime. In this study, a theoretical method is developed, for the first time, to compute unsteady transonics of oscillating wings with tip stores. The method is based on the small-disturbance, aerodynamic equations of motion from the potential-flow theory. To validate the method, subsonic and transonic aerodynamic computations are made for a lower-aspect-ratio wing, and they are compared with the available experimental data. Comparisons are favorable. The strong effects of the tip store on the transonic aerodynamics of the wing are also illustrated. The method developed in this steady can be used for transonic, aeroelastic computations of wings with tip stores.
