SLENDER-AIRFOIL CAMBERLINES WITH TRAPEZOIDAL LIFT DISTRIBUTIONS,

Abstract

Nondimensional analytical equations are developed from slender-airfoil theory to define the shape and the lift characteristics of a mean-line camber that will give a thin lifting surface some arbitrary trapezoidal lift distribution in two dimensional invicid flow. The camber-line data for some particular lift distributions are tabulated as design aids. (Author)
