Abstract:
An asymptotic aerodynamic theory of a high-aspect-ratio thin wing in a steady incompressible flow is developed for the general case where the wing is curved into a swept non-planar arc. The theory is based on a boundary integral equation for (velocity) potential jump
across the wing's surface, which is well known in the classical wing theory. Using the reciprocal 
of the aspect ratio as a small parameter, this equation is solved asymptotically to obtain as a series <INF>0</INF> + ( ln )<INF>1</INF> + <INF>2</INF> +..., where the respective terms are given by quadratures. The first three terms in this series, as well as the first three terms in comparable series for the lift, side-force, drag and rolling moment coefficient, are found explicitly.
