A theoretical method of designing cambered slender wings to have low lift-dependent drag is described. The results of subsonic wind tunnel tests on a series of thin cambered delta wings of aspect ratio 2 are presented, and the significant drag reductions achieved are discussed in relation to theoretical predictions for the drag of cambered slender wings.
