Abstract
Summary A class of delta wings is considered, whose under-surface has an inverted-V, or inverted-W, cross section of such a form that, at the “design” Mach number and incidence, the shock waves formed are plane. The geometry of the shock-wave system and surface is described briefly, and comments made about the utility of the concept in relation to hypersonic flow studies.Keywords
