Abstract

The purpose of this white paper is to provide a range of information to potential designers of oblique wing aircraft, including theoretical and conceptual foundations, general performance characteristics and mission-based optimization, more detailed parametric design studies, and other supporting resources. A collection of technical papers related to oblique wings has been compiled as part of this study. Many of these papers have not been widely distributed, but are now available and linked to this paper.
