Keywords: oblique flying wing, sst, l/d, optimization

The Oblique Flying Wing (OFW), which is a concept of the next generation SST, has the favorable characteristic of attaining a high L/D in a supersonic region. In this paper, some optimizations of the shape of the OFW and the flight conditions are studied to demonstrate a high L/D.
