The indicial lift and moment functions are determined approximately for sinking and pitching motion at Mach numbers M of 0.5 and 0.6. These functions are determined from a knowledge of the existing oscillatory coefficients at the low reduced frequencies and from approximate expressions of these coefficients at the high reduced frequencies.
