A study of methods to increase the lift of supersonic airfoils at low speeds

This thesis presents a study of the problem of improving the lift characteristics of a supersonic wing at low speeds. Trailing edge split flaps, nose flaps , and boundary layer control were investigated singularly and together using the optimum configuration of each.
