[QUOTE="federicobarbarroja, post: 181213"] [B] Wing and Strake Configuration[/B] Aerodynamic studies in the early 1960’s demonstrated that the phenomenon known as “vortex lift” could be beneficially harnessed by the utilization of highly swept wing configurations, such as found in the Concorde supersonic aircraft and the Swedish Viggen canard configured aircraft.
