The wing and the fuselage are the most influential components contributing to aerodynamic drag. However, in supersonic airplane all main components for optimum efficiency of the complete vehicle must be integrated. This chapter aims at comparing basic aerodynamic properties of three‐dimensional wings based on results generated with linearized theory. Experimental studies have shown that the aerodynamic performance of flat‐plate wings with rounded (or “blunt”) leading edges can be estimated adequately at small incidences when the flow remains attached over the entire wing surface. It discusses the classification of edge flows and the Linear Theory for Three‐dimensional Inviscid Flow. The chapter examines the various types of wings for supersonic aircrafts: slender wings, delta wing, arrow wings, and the varieties of slender delta and arrow wings, namely, clipped delta, double delta, and cranked arrow.
