The hodograph method and its application as described in reference 1 allow the construction of steady transonic potential flows around aerofoil sections. This report gives results of the application of this method as far as non-lifting symmetrical sections are concerned. The results show that with a restricted use of the possibihties of the method an already remarkable variety of practically interesting sections and corresponding pressure distributions can be obtained. The sections can be computed with a precision sufficient to meet accuracy requirements of model manufacturing.
