Theory of small disturbances is applied to calculation of pressure distribution and drag of closed body of revolution traveling at supersonic speeds; it is shown that toward rear of body, shape of pressure distribution is similar to that for subsonic flow; for fineness ratios between 10 and 15, theoretical wave drag is of same order as probable values of frictional drag.
