Stability and flutter derivatives are obtained for rectangular wings describing plunging and pitching oscillations in subsonic flow. These are evaluated by applying the simple approximate 'equivalent' wing theory (R. & M. ...

A method of calculating stability derivatives for wings oscillating at low frequencies is developed from the modified vortex-lattice method outlined in R. & M. 2470. Derivatives are obtained for the following wings describing ...

Summary. An oscillatory lifting-surface theory for subsonic flow (Ref. 1) is used to calculate the aerodynamic forces on an oscillating arrowhead wing of aspect ratio 2 with trailing-edge control surfaces of varying span. ...

The reverse-flow theorem gives alternative integrals for generalized forces on oscillating wings by linearized theory. Applications to analytical and numerical solutions are discussed, and the latter are considered in some ...

The initial lift for wings of finite aspect ratio due to a sudden unit change of incidence is considered and, by the use of the method developed in R. & M. 21171, the ratio of the initial to the final values of the lift ...

Leading-edge separation from fairly thin wings of moderate or low aspect ratio gives rise to aerodynamic loading and forces that are non-linear with incidence. It is important to be able to estimate these effects theoretically ...

To first order in frequency, subsonic lifting-surface theory is applied to arbitrary configurations of a thin wing and a trailing-edge control. The discontinuities in flow direction at the hinge line and part-span boundaries ...
