An improved higher order panel method for linearized supersonic flow is described. Each panel, defined by four points on the surface, is divided into eight subpanels in such a way that all subpanel and panel edges are continuous. By prescribing a quadratic distribution of the doublet on each subpanel, the doublet strength is made strictly continuous on the paneled surface. A linear source distribution is also used. Numerical results are smoother and in better agreement with experiment than the previous method with less strict countinuity. A brief discussion of superinclined panels used to eliminate interior interference in nacelles ins included. (dePo)
