Results of two studies into the supersonic aerodynamics of twin-fuselage aircraft configurations are summarized. In the first study, a set of experimental data was obtained on a simple rectangular-wing twin-fuselage wind-tunnel model; this data was then used to evaluate prediction methods, assess favorable interference effects, and identify any unexpected or unpredictable aerodynamic phenomena. Results are presented which show that significant reductions in wave drag are possible through optimum body positioning and that existing aerodynamic prediction methods are adequate for making preliminary aerodynamic estimates. Several configuration concepts were theoretically explored in the second study, and results are presented which indicate the sensitivity of the twin-fuselage concept to various methods of integrating the aircraft components.
