Lifting-Line Analysis for Twisted Wings and Washout-Optimized Wings

W. F. Phillips

Abstract

A more practical form of the analytical solution for the effects of geometric and aerodynamic twist (washout) on the low-Mach-number performance of a finite wing of arbitrary planform is presented. This infinite series solution is based on Prandtl's classical lifting-line theory and the Fourier coefficients are presented in a form that only depends on wing geometry
