An effective method, based on hodograph theory, has been developed for the aerodynamic design of subcritical and shock-free supercritical airfoil sections. In addition to the free-stream conditions, the input to the design procedure includes a prescription of the subsonic part of a target pressure distribution and, for supercritical airfoils, of a presumed stream function on the sonic line. A computer program carries out a number of sequential steps that result in an airfoil with a pressure distribution close to that desired at little computational cost. Thus, the airfoil designer can alter the input if design goals are not met and quickly produce another candidate airfoil. This is aided by appropriate graphic display of the airfoil and its pressure distribution.
