The lift slope for an infinite swept wing in compressible flow, denoted as , is a parameter used in aerodynamics to describe the rate of change of lift coefficient () with respect to angle of attack () for an infinitely long swept wing operating in compressible flow conditions. It quantifies how the lift generated by the wing changes as the angle of attack is varied while accounting for compressibility effects and the wing’s sweep angle.
