New method of calculation makes direct use of actual airplane polars without approximations; procedure based on extension of Eiffel-Rith coordinate system, and all scales can be incorporated in simple transparent chart, thereby eliminating necessity for special prepared graph paper; compressibility effects are taken into account through use of constant altitude variable Mach number polars which are derived from constant Mach number polars of true airplane.
