...efforts to reduce turbulence, Whitcomb finally hit upon the design for what NASA now calls the "supercritical wing." To reduce the peak airflow speed and move the shock wave farther back on the wing, he drastically flattened the curvature of the upper wing surface. To compensate for the loss of lift that resulted, he increased the curvature near the wing's trailing edge and put a concave contour on the underside.
