Abstract
A direct design method for generating an osculating curved waverider based on a complex leading edge, includes obtaining a leading edgeleading edge through determining a leading edge of a waverider according to a spread length, a front-to-rear length, and a sweep angle at each position of an aircraft, and arranging leading-edge discrete points on the leading edgeleading edge; drawing a small shock cone corresponding to each leading-edge discrete point by starting from each leading-edge discrete point, taking a local shock angle as a half cone angle and taking a free streamline direction as an axis; finding envelope surfaces of all small shock cones, namely, a shock curved surface corresponding to the leading edgeleading edge; generating a waverider by using the osculating curved waverider design method.
