The method of Thomas for calculating buffet onset was improved in such a way that supercritical airfoils as well as high angles of attack and high lift coefficients can be treated. Calculated examples of buffet-onset boundaries for supercritical airfoils show a benefit in lift coefficient and Mach number compared with those of conventional airfoils. Measured buffet onset for the Korn airfoil No. 1 is well predicted by the calculation method. (Author)
