A wing for use on a supersonic aircraft that includes an inboard section a
central section of the wing outboard of the inboard portion, and an
outboard section. The outboard section can be a winglet oriented
anhedrally relative to a lateral axis of the supersonic aircraft. Leading
edge segments on the inboard section, central section and outboard
winglet may have mounted thereon leading-edge flaps. These flaps are
adjusted by a control system operable to reposition the leading-edge
flaps in order to improve the aerodynamic performance of the supersonic
aircraft. This winglet promotes sonic boom minimization. Further, the
wing tip anhedral allows greater inboard dihedral. This effectively
pushes lift aft for sonic boom and control purposes while minimizing the
movement of control surfaces.
