We have further optimized the shape of the proof of concept aircraft. Using a multi objective design optimization environment we tested hundreds of different design variants. The animation below shows just a few of them.
Multi Objective Design Optimization at cruise with Mach 0.87
The result is very impressive. The flow remains supercritical up to Mach 0.88, means that there are no shocks, no buffeting nor flow separation. And this while keeping the docile low speed characteristics of the aircraft.
