Supercritical airfoils feature four main benefits: they have a higher drag-divergence Mach number, [21] they develop shock waves farther aft than traditional airfoils, [22] they greatly reduce shock-induced boundary layer separation, and their geometry allows more efficient wing design (e.g., a thicker wing and/or reduced wing sweep, each of which may allow a lighter wing).
English: Subsonic (1) and trans-sonic (2) airfoils at identical Mach number. A: Supersonic flow region . B: Shock wave . C: Area of stalled flow . On the trans-sonic (or supercritical) airfoil, the deceleration of the flow on the top surface, and the strength of the shockwave with which the flow returns to a subsonic regime, are reduced.
For example, the NACA 2412 airfoil has a maximum camber of 2% located 40% (0.4 chords) from the leading edge with a maximum thickness of 12% of the chord. The NACA 0015 airfoil is symmetrical, the 00 indicating that it has no camber. The 15 indicates that the airfoil has a 15% thickness to chord length ratio: it is 15% as thick as it is long.
Semi-trailer aerodynamic devices are devices affixed to semi-trailers, for the purpose of reducing aerodynamic drag caused by air turbulence. The two major types of device in use are trailer skirts (or side skirts ), affixed to the underside of trailers, and trailer tails (or boat tails , or rear fairings ), affixed to the rear.

, is the coefficient of lift of a specific section of the airfoil, t is the airfoil thickness at a given section, c is the chord length at a given section, is a factor established through CFD analysis: K = 0.87 for conventional airfoils (6 series), [4] K = 0.95 for supercritical airfoils.

Supersonic airfoils generally have a thin section formed of either angled planes or opposed arcs (called "double wedge airfoils" and "biconvex airfoils" respectively), with very sharp leading and trailing edges. The sharp edges prevent the formation of a detached bow shock in front of the airfoil as it moves through the air. [1]
