The lift coefficient (cl) for supersonic flow over a flat plate is a parameter that quantifies the lift or normal force generated by the flat plate when it is subjected to a supersonic fluid flow. This coefficient is specifically used to characterize the lift forces experienced by the flat plate in a supersonic flow regime, where the speed of the fluid exceeds the speed of sound.

- Angle of attack (𝛼) in rad
- Freestream Mach number (M∞)
