Abstract

Wing design is a very complicated and intricate issue. It is not feasible to cover everything in this chapter; however, it is possible to discuss some of the essential ideas that underpin design for high lift and low drag. Lift may be increased in four ways for fixed air characteristics and free-stream speed: increased wing area, increased angle of attack, increased camber, increased circulation through the use of high-momentum fluid. One of the most important applications of potential flow theory was the study of lifting surfaces such as aircraft wings, since the boundary conditions on a complex geometry can significantly complicate any attempt to tackle the problem via analytical techniques, which involves some simplification assumptions in order to arrive at a solution. These assumptions will be related to the concept of three-dimensional thin wing issues in this chapter.
