Design philosophy applied by Lockheed-California Co in selecting double-delta wing planform as optimum for supersonic transports with regard to economics, community acceptability, and safety; passenger capacity considerations lead to choice of fuselage size; wing affects economy to large degree through lift-to-drag ratio, speed, and weight, and influences sonic boom and airport noise; it determines flying qualities and degree of simplicity which can be achieved; operational characteristics and takeoff, approach and landings considerations; speed stability and factors to take into account.
