In this paper two-dimensional compressible flow past an arbitrary aerofoil in unlimited fluid or past a straight lattice of aerofoils is considered on the basis of the M^2-expansion method, which consists in expanding various quantities in powers of M^2, M being the Mach number. The general expressions for the velocity components at any point in the field of flow are obtained, which are correct to M^4 for an isolated aerofoil and to M^2 for a wing lattice respectively. In particular, the formulae giving the velocity distribution on the surface of the aerofoil are of such a simple form that the numerical calculation for any arbitrary aerofoil or lattice of aerofoils is no longer a prohibitive work as generally believed. As an interesting special case, the flow past a symmetrical aerofoil placed symmetrically in a channel is also considered, which was previously dealt with by Goldstein and Lighthill by means of a different method.
