Abstract

A direct optimization method is used to determine the form of the wing which enables the aerodynamic performance to be improved for a given lift in the supersonic flow of ideal gas. The flow around the wing and its characteristics are calculated within the framework of a model based on Euler's equations. On the basis of a local analysis of the load distribution on the wing, a method is proposed for choosing the system of geometric parameters which ensures rapid convergence to the optimum. It is shown that one of the parameters of the system (the angle of rotation of the wing panel relative to the central chord) has a very slight influence on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing.
