As part of the Airbus A 300 B10 (A310) development program, the design and wind tunnel characterization of four supercritical wings in a transonic flow are reported on. Wind tunnel measurements made on airfoil profiles are analyzed. Results are used in the choice of a wing configuration for a full scale model to be subjected to further transonic wind tunnel tests. Model construction and data collection schemes are discussed. Transonic flow theory is also considered. At present, the influence of the engine assembly on the wing configuration and its flow field has yet to be satisfactorily calculated.
