The variational problem for the shape of a thin lifting surface of high hypersonic performance is formulated by using analytical expressions for the flow around a small-aspect-ratio wing at an angle of attack in the next approximation to the Newtonian theory. The solutions of this problem define the planform of the lower surface of the wing and its leading edge, ensuring an appreciable increase in aerodynamic performance compared with the maximum of Newtonian theory, for a given lift force or payload.
