Supersonic aircraft have additional supersonic drag associated with trimming out unbalanced moments; many approaches toward minimizing trim drag are possible; paper compares trim drag of tail aircraft, tailless, canards, and variable geometry configurations; procedure for evaluating trim drag for any configuration is included.
