A simple aerodynamic calculation program for high Mach number flow is developed by combining the modified Newtonian method with Tannehill's curve fits for the thermodynamic properties of air in equilibrium state. Aerodynamic characteristics for a parabolic nose are predicted and compared with CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis results. Comparison shows good agreements, and the developed program is expected to be a practical tool for slender body aerodynamic calculation for high Mach number flow.
