A supersonic cruise configuration aircraft comprises a fuselage extending
on a longitudinal axis from a forward nose to an aft tail, and a wing
coupled at an inboard section to the fuselage and extending to an
outboard tip, and having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The aircraft
further comprises a landing gear that is coupled to the wing and capable
of stowing into the wing and fuselage on retraction. The landing gear has
a landing gear strut. The wing is gulled with a dihedral at an angle that
is increased inboard and aligns with the retracted landing gear. The wing
has a minimum thickness sufficient to enclose the landing gear.
