Keywords: swept wing, supersonic boundary layer, streamwise instability, crossflow instability, first-mode wave

In order to clarify the effects of streamwise and crossflow instabilities on the spatial growth of first-mode waves, we have performed linear stability analysis first with the full supersonic boundary layers over an infinite swept wing and next with those without crossflow.
