Advances in Aerodynamic Shape Optimization [PDF]
The accumulated experience of the last decade suggests that most existing aircraft which cruise at transonic speeds are amenable to a drag reduction of the order of 3 to 5 percent, or an increase in the drag rise Mach number of at least .02. These improvements can be achieved by very small shape modifications, which are too subtle to allow their ...
