To generate lift a supersonic airplane has to produce at least two shock waves: One over-pressure downwards wave, and one under-pressure upwards wave. Withcomb’s area rule states, we can reuse air displacement without generating additional shock waves. In this case the fuselage reuses some displacement of the wings.
