dc.description.abstract	Opinion seems still unsettled on the aerodymamic merit of swept wings in supersonic flight. To elucidate this, Ackeret's theory of two-dimensional wave reaction is here extended to include sweep. The formulae so derived are used to compare the performance of a straight wing with one swept through 45 deg, making some allowance for frictional drag.	en_US
