Apparatus and methods for transonic truss-braced wing aircraft are disclosed herein. An example aircraft disclosed herein includes a fuselage and a wing supported by a truss. The truss includes a pylon coupled to and extending from the fuselage and a strut attached to the wing. An engine is coupled to the pylon.

Apparatus and articles of manufacture are disclosed of an aircraft comprising: a brace to support a wing of the aircraft, the brace including a first end coupled to the wing and a second end coupled to a fuselage of the aircraft, the brace including: a strut extending between the first end and the second end; and an airfoil having a cavity containing the strut.

A wing structure for a supersonic aircraft including a pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels formed on each of two laterally extending wings of the supersonic aircraft, wherein each of the pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels extend in a span-wise direction of the wings respectively, wherein an upper supersonic wave-tripping channel of the pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels is disposed on an upper surface of each of the wings and a lower supersonic wave-tripping channel of the pair of supersonic wave-tripping channels is disposed on a lower surface of each of the wings, wherein the upper supersonic wave-tripping channel and the lower supersonic wave-tripping channel are set back from a leading edge of the wings respectively.
