The feasibility of a new supersonic commercial vehicle configuration is not only determined by its properties in the high‐speed cruise condition but also in off‐design conditions such as taking‐off, subsonic climb and descent, and landing. This chapter gives an overview of possibilities to improve the aerodynamic shape of thin wings by applying camber in longitudinal and lateral directions. It predicts the induced drag of a flat delta wing with sharp leading edges where leading‐edge suction cannot develop. The chapter provides an estimation of the theoretical maximum and the practically achievable leading‐edge thrust of cambered delta wings. Practical wings such as cranked arrow and ogival wings have curved and/or kinked leading and trailing edges, and clipped tips. In high‐speed flight conditions their leading edges may be partly subsonic and partly supersonic. In Concorde's design, the all‐wing configuration had a warped wing shape.
