Chordwise and Compressibility Corrections to Slender-wing Theory

Download or read book Chordwise and Compressibility Corrections to Slender-wing Theory written by Harvard Lomax and published by . This book was released on 1951 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrections to slender-wing theory are obtained by assuming a spanwise distribution of loading and determining the chordwise variation which satisfies the appropriate integral equation. Such integral equations are set up in terms of the given vertical induced velocity on the center line, or depending on the type of wing plan form, its average value across the span at a given chord station. The chordwise distribution is then obtained by solving these integral equations. Results are shown for flat-plate, rectangular, and triangular wings.
