Title: Several Methods for Reducing the Drag of Transport Configurations at High Subsonic Speeds
Abstract: Results of investigations of several promising methods for alleviating the drag rise of transport configurations at high subsonic speeds are reviewed briefly. The methods include a wing leading-edge extension, a fuselage addition, and additions on the wing. Also, results are presented for a complete, improved transport configuration which incorporates the fuselage and wing additions and show that the improved configuration could have considerably higher cruise speeds than do current designs.
