Analysis indicates that for aerodynamic efficiency, wings designed for flight at supersonic speeds should be swept back at angle greater than Mach angle and angle of sweepback should be such that component of velocity normal to leading edge is less than critical speed of airfoil sections; principle may also be applied to wings designed for subsonic speeds near speed of sound.
