The method of computing velocity and pressure distributions along wing profiles under the assumption of the simplified density-speed relation, outlined in NACA Technical Note 1006, is extended to the case of a nonsymmetrical profile and a flow with circulation. The shape of the profile, the speed of the undisturbed flow, and a parameter determing the angle of attack may be prescribed. The problem is reduced to a nonlinear integral equation which can be solved numerical by an iteration method. A numerical example is given.
