Fig. 2.103 Wedge-shaped head shock and boundary layer interference
Fig. 2.104 The interference of the shock on the flat head and the boundary layer
supersonic flow around a flat plate, there will also be a weak separated
shock wave at the head, but it will soon weaken to the Mach wave, as
shown in Fig. 2.104.
2.11 The Leading Role of Aerodynamics
in the Development of Modern Aircraft
As the foundation and forward-looking discipline of Aeronautics and Astronautics, aerodynamics has always played a leading role in the development
of various aircraft. Therefore, its development level plays a decisive role in
the advanced nature of aircraft. For example, in the development process of
fighter (as shown in Fig. 2.105), in the 1950s, the emergence of jet engines
