Abstract-This paper discusses the aerodynamic performance of oblique wing configuration in transonic and supersonic flight regimes. By using CFD tools within the ANSYS, the research has explored the function of oblique wing towards wave drag reduction and efficiency enhancement. Pivot angle variations of 0°, 30°, 45°, and 60° were used in asymmetrically designed wing and analysed at Mach 0.9 and 1.2. Some critical parameters include CL, CD, and pressure distribution, through which the design attains optimum operating characteristics. Some results reveal wave drag at specific pivot angles with the oblique wing. As the wave drags show least values for specific pivot angles (30°: Mach 0.9; 45°: Mach 1.2), these result in great applicability in improved aerodynamic efficiency and adaptability in varied conditions of flight towards the further developments of high-speed aircraft technology.
