Title:
SUPERSONIC FLYING WING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/129210
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A bidirectional flying wing maximizes efficiency and reduces sonic boom during supersonic flight. The flying wing has bilateral symmetry across two perpendicular planes and a substantially isentropic compression bottom surface that minimizes the shock wave projected downward during flight. The flying wing may be rotated to provide a high aspect ratio and a low sweep angle during subsonic flight. The flying wing may be rotated to provide a low aspect ratio and a high sweep angle during supersonic flight.
