Reference made to work by R.T. Jones on drag minimization of elliptic wings, indexed in Engineering Index 1953 p 37, which is extended to case of slewed wing with thickness; results are used to calculate lift/drag ratios of idealized configurations related to supersonic transport aircraft; values of lift/drag ratio and optimum slenderness ratio found are comparable with those calculated in studies of delta-like plan forms.
