      The method of deformed coordinates (Lighthill’s method) generalized to the case of discontinuous solutions is applied to find aerodynamic characteristics for solids of revolution under steady supersonic airflows at a slight angle of attack. A high accuracy of results is demonstrated, as well as a possibility to find the method validity limits in a linearized problem.
