Summary

For caret waveriders at the design condition the attached shock wave in the plane of the leading edges may correspond to either a strong or a weak oblique shock wave when viewed normal to the edges. In cases when the design shock wave corresponds to the strong oblique shock the off-design behaviour of the wing is not completely understood. In this note some measured results are analysed in an attempt to understand this off-design behaviour.
