Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1976-06-30 Abstract Surface panel methods and finite difference methods are reviewed with respect to the use in the design of aeroplanes. It is concluded that there is a need for inverse surface panel type methods to diminish the trial and error character of the design process. Finite difference methods based on transonic small perturbation theory have to be based on an equation that is the proper small perturbation of the mass conservation law. The only sensible next step in the development seems to be the solution of the full potential equation applying correct boundary conditions.
