Linearized theory is used to estimate the order of magnitude of the beneficial effects that can be obtained by shaping the body of a wing-body configuration to generate lift indirectly at supersonic speeds. The analysis applies to a class of wing-body configurations which is believed to exhibit the essential features of this type of interference; the body is cylindrical upstream of a wing which has supersonic edges and the parts of the body above and below the wing are each semicircular and of different radii. Calculations are presented for a Mach number of square root of 2 for a particular family of bodies and a sonic-edge delta wing.
