Summary

A method has been developed for calculating the load distribution, overall forces and moments on a thin wing of arbitrary shape undergoing small amplitude simple harmonic motion in inviscid, incompressible flow. The method is compared with experimental data and other theoretical methods for wings and control surfaces in pitching oscillation and wings going through a sinusoidal vertical gust.
