Investigation of supersonic aircraft configurations composed of cambered body positioned certain distance beneath arbitrary lifting wing; expressions for drag and lift are obtained from reverse flow considerations; variational problem of determining optimum wing incidence and body shape, for given volume and length, to yield minimum drag for prescribed lift; results of numerical calculations for 3 configurations with rectangular wing and one with triangular wing having supersonic leading edges.
