From first-principles engineering, they've found the Prandtl-D wing www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/programs_projects/PRANDTL/index.html

Proverse yaw—yawing in the same direction as a turn—would optimize aircraft performance. Initial results from flight experiments at Armstrong demonstrated that this wing design unequivocally established proverse yaw. This wing design further reduces drag due to lift at the same time.
