Vortex Flow Dilemmas and Control on Wing Planforms on High Speed

Abstract

Aircraft for sustained supersonic flight usually feature low aspect ratio wings with varying (reducing) leading edge sweep over the outer portion to achieve an `adequate low-speed performance. A high-speed "cruise" wing then becomes subject to mixed flows at low-speeds including strong Vortical flows.
