Airfoil with supersonic wave-tripping structure

A wing structure for a supersonic aircraft comprising:

• a pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels formed on each of two laterally extending wings of the supersonic aircraft, wherein each of the pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels extend continuously further in a span-wise direction of the wings than in a direction directly between a leading and trailing edge of the wings, wherein an upper supersonic wave-tripping channel of the pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels is disposed on an upper surface of each of the wings and a lower supersonic wave-tripping channel of the pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels is disposed on a lower surface of each of the wings, wherein the upper supersonic wave-tripping channel and the lower supersonic wave-tripping channel are set back from the leading edge of the wings respectively, wherein each of the pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels extend continuously across substantially the entire length of the respective wings.
