Closed-form formulas for the effects of finite afterbodies on the longitudinal center of pressure location in the presence of a wing at supersonic speeds are presented, along with solutions for the case of negative afterbodies. A double integral is developed for the case of subsonic and supersonic leading edges and no afterbody and full afterbody. Attention is also given to the full/infinite body case, noting that a proportional variation of the pitching moment with the lift is found.
