Abstract
Supercritical wing technology is expected to have a significant influence on the next generation of commercial aircraft. Computational fluid dynamics has played a central role in the development of new supercritical wing sections. One of the principal tools is a fast and reliable code that simulates two-dimensional wind tunnel data for transonic flow at high Reynolds numbers (see Volume II). This is used widely by industry to assess drag creep and drag rise.
