Natural laminar flow wing design was applied to the small supersonic transport QSST by using a computational fluid dynamics based supersonic inverse design method, aimed to reduce friction drag. The design target is a small supersonic passenger aircraft (Mach 1.6, 36-50 passengers), which is a reference airframe for JAXA's conceptual design. In this study, some parts of the natural laminar flow design system were improved in order to achieve high aerodynamic performance. The total drag, i.e. not only the friction drag but also the pressure drag, was improved by this modification of the target pressure distribution of the lower surface.
