The influence of leading-edge thrust on twisted and cambered wing design for supersonic cruiseA study of leading-edge thrust phenomena at supersonic speeds has shown that although these forces are not large, they can be a significant factor in the design of wings for supersonic cruise. It is seen that the rather severe twisted and cambered wing surfaces resulting from the application of present design methods, which ignore leading-edge thrust, can be replaced by more moderate surfaces with little or no loss in aerodynamic efficiency if realistic possibilities for the attainment of some fraction of the theoretical thrust are taken into account.
