Abstract
In this paper the prerequisites for application of the analytical characteristics method are discussed first. Those prerequisites are analytical descriptions of the geometry of wave fronts and rays and analytical solutions of the wave equation or the potential equation for supersonic flow. The latter are applied as initial solutions to the analytical characteristics method. Examples of application range from unsteady subsonic to steady supersonic flow, from mere theoretical predictions to the evaluation of the flow field from near field wind tunnel test data. (A)
