WAVDRAG calculates supersonic zero-lift wave drag of complex aircraft configurations. Numerical model of aircraft used throughout design process from concept to manufacturing. Incorporates extended geometric input capabilities to permit use of more accurate mathematical model. Engineer defines aircraft components as fusiform or nonfusiform in terms of traditional parallel contours or nonintersecting contours in any direction. Laterally asymmetric configurations simulated. WAVDRAG calculates total drag and wave-drag coefficient of specified aircraft configuration.
