What is it about?
Modern large transport aircraft, e.g Boeing and Airbus, have high wing sweep to fly fast at transonic speeds. Reducing wing sweep has the potential for more laminar flow wing design for lower skin friction drag. This paper addresses the shock wave problem by shock control devices for lower wing sweep to order to reduce aircraft fuel consumption.
