We prove existence of certain compressible subsonic inviscid flows with vortex sheets separating from a solid boundary. To leading order, any perturbation of the upstream boundary causes positive drag. We also prove that if a region of irrotational inviscid flow bounded by a vortex sheet and slip condition wall is enclosed in an angle less than $180^\circ$, then the velocity is zero.
Keywords: separation, Vortex sheet, Prandtl-Glauert, drag, corner, Euler., compressible, potential flow.
