Thanks SMOC

You don't happen to have any further information?

Milt,

Could you please clarify "..close to symmetrical or often just slabs.." Does that mean a "bit inverted"?

re stability, most airliners have an up cant on the engines of a couple of degrees (wing mounted) which will help.. .

Also, at transonic speeds, doesn't the center of lift move BACKWARDS on supercritical airfoils?

Cheers,

M
