The technology is still evolving for improving the transonic maneuver capability of strake-wing configurations. Much of the work to date has been of an experimental nature; whereas, the theories that are available to handle vortex-flow aerodynamics have mostly treated wings of constant sweep. Hence, two efforts were undertaken. They are: (1) to extend the suction analogy to more general configurations and evaluate the method by using selected critical planforms; and (2) to develop a procedure for strake planform shaping and test the resulting shape in conjunction with a wing-body. The conclusions from this study are that (1) some improvement has been made in estimating high-angle-of-attack longitudinal aerodynamics, and (2) the gothic strake designed with the developed procedure does produce a stable vortex system in the presence of a wing body and flat post-maximum-lift characteristics.
