Book excerpt: Results from a supersonic wind-tunnel investigation of a series of thin triangular and sweptback wings are presented. The triangular wing series consisted of eight triangular wings of vertex angles such that a range of leading-edge postions both inside and outside the Mach cone at the test Mach numbers of 1.43 and 1.71 was obtained. The three swept wings had angles of sweep at 45, 55, and 63 degrees and were tested at a Mach number of 1.43.
