By linearised supersonic theory, a flat wing at \( 4 \) degrees incidence at \( M = 2 \) has a lift coefficient nearest to

  • A.0.081
  • B.0.279
  • C.0.161
  • D.0.439

Answer: C

The result is \( c_l = 4\alpha/\sqrt{M^2-1} \), with \( \alpha = 0.0698 \) radians and \( \sqrt{3} = 1.732 \), giving \( 4 \times 0.0698/1.732 = 0.161 \). The subsonic two pi alpha value of 0.439 does not apply above Mach one and is offered as the trap.
