A concept for interrelating the wave drags of wing-body combinations at supersonic speeds with axial developments of cross-sectional area is presented. A swept-wing-indented-body combination designed on the basis of this concept to have significantly improved maximum lift-drag ratios over a range of transonic and moderate supersonic speeds is described. Experimental results have been obtained for this configuration at Mach numbers from 0.80 to 2.01. Maximum lift-drag ratios of approximately 14 and 9 were measured at Mach numbers of 1.15 and 1.41, respectively
