Keywords: Supersonic flow, Supersonic biplane, Shock wave interaction

The supersonic biplane theory is attracted attention for how to reduce the sonic boom and the wave drag at the supersonic flight. This research compares the shock wave interaction and the drag of three-dimensional supersonic biplane configurations with different planar shapes and taper ratios through the Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations.
