Abstract
In Volume I (cf. [1]) we have presented a mathematical theory for the design and analysis of supercritical wing sections, and we have included examples and computer programs showing how our methods work. By now several of the first shockless airfoils we designed have been tested with some success, and satisfactory agreement of the results of our analysis with experimental data has been established. General acceptance of supercritical wing technology by the aircraft industry encourages us to make available in this second volume an improved series of transonic airfoils as well as extensions of our analysis program that include three dimensional and boundary layer effects. We hope that the data we have compiled will be helpful in such projects as the development of a transonic transport with an oblique supercritical wing, which could operate economically at nearly sonic speeds.
