A brief discussion is given of some recent experimental results obtained on a supersonic transport-type airplane for a large range of Mach numbers. The theoretical arguments which led to the configuration of this airplane were brought out at the NACA Conference on Supersonic Aerodynamics at the Langley Laboratory, June 1940, 1947; hence, it will not be necessary to dwell on them herein. Briefly, our calculations showed that a reasonably good lift-drag ratio and, hence, reasonably good fuel economy, could be maintained up to a Mach number of 1.5. The configuration required would incorporate a long slender body and wings having a large angle of sweepback together with the highest practicable aspect ratio.
