Supercritical airfoils and their applications to wings for various types of aircraft are studied. The various wings discussed were designed for a subsonic jet transport with increased speed, a variable sweep fighter with greater transonic maneuverability, a high subsonic speed STOL jet transport with improved low speed characteristics, and a subsonic jet transport with substantially improved aerodynamic efficiency. Results of wind tunnel and flight demonstration investigations are described. Also discussed are refinements of the transonic area rule concept and methods for reducing the aerodynamic interference between engine nacelles and wings at high subsonic speeds.
