Aircraft for sustained supersonic flight usually feature low aspect ratio wings with varying (reducing) leading edge sweep over the outer portion to achieve an adequate low-speed performance. A high-speed 'cruise' wing then becomes subject to mixed flows at low-speeds including strong Vortical flows.
