Summary

The Nonweiler method of designing delta wings (caret wings) to have plane shocks on the lower surface is extended to the design of upper surfaces. Cambered and shock-free surfaces are also deduced, and methods of design for complete configurations suggested.

An important point is that all surfaces are of single curvature.
