A finite difference scheme for the analysis of transonic airfoils at off-design conditions is described. It is the ultimate goal of the investigations to avoid expensive wind tunnel tests by combining the mathematical techniques in a procedure for designing supercritical airfoils so that they will be effective over a wider range of angles of attack and Mach numbers. A mathematical method is considered for computing two-dimensional transonic flows past a prescribed profile. The method can provide accurate results for a comparison with a known shockless regime. The approach gives also data of engineering reliability concerning the location and the strength of shocks at off-design conditions.
