A Method for the Design of Sweptback Wings Warped to Produce Specified Flight Characteristics at Supersonic Speeds
Description:
One of the problems connected with the sweptback wing is the difficulty of controlling the location of the center of pressure and hence the pitching moment. A method is presented for designing a wing to be self-trimming at a given set of flight conditions. Concurrently, the spanwise distribution of load on the wing is made to be approximately elliptical, in an effort to maintain low wing drag.
