Abstract

In recent years, with the gradual development of the aviation industry, how to make supersonic aircraft truly used in military air defense has become a global problem. In this paper, the wing design of supersonic aircraft is studied, a swept back symmetrical wing suitable for supersonic reconnaissance aircraft is designed with reasonable aspect ratio, span length, sweep angle, thrust weight ratio and wing load. On the basis of the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft analyzed, the inboard electron, outboard electron, flasheron, leading edge flap and all moving tip are designed to ensure the controllability in the flight line and to maintain the balance and stability of the aircraft. The qualitative analysis of the flight performance of the wing is also performed. This paper provides a possibility for the design of supersonic aircraft in the future.
