Abstract
A proof is given that, in spite of certain singularities in the oblique area distributions, the supersonic area rule can be used to determine correctly the wave drag, according to linearized theory, of thin symmetrical rectangular wings at zero incidence. The proof could be extended to cover the case of swept wings with supersonic edges, for which similar singularities also exist.
