thin-wing theory
1Insect wing — Original veins and wing posture of a dragonfly. Hoverflies hovering to mate …
2Lifting-line theory — or Lanchester Prandtl wing theory was published by Ludwig Prandtl in 1918–1919 after working with Albert Betz and Max Munk on the problem of a useful mathematical tool for examining lift from real world wings. In this model, the vortex strength… …
3Trapezoidal wing — X 3 Stiletto F 104 Starfighter …
4Swept wing — A swept wing is a wing planform common on high speed aircraft, with the wing swept back instead of being set at right angles to the fuselage. This is a useful drag reducing measure for aircraft flying just below the speed of sound. Forward sweep… …
5Delta wing — HAL Tejas has a tailless delta wing configuration …
6Momentum theory — In fluid dynamics, the momentum theory or disk actuator theory is a theory describing a mathematical model of an ideal actuator disk, such as a propeller or helicopter rotor, by W.J.M. Rankine (1865), Alfred George Greenhill (1888) and R.E.… …
7KHASKIND — RUSSIA (see also List of Individuals) 16.8.1913 Novy Bug/RU 17.5.1963 Odessa/RU Maks Danilovich Khaskind originated from the Kherson region, Ukraine. He graduated in 1937 in mathematics and physics from Odessa University. Shortly later, he gained …
8Airfoil — An airfoil (in American English) or aerofoil (in British English) is the shape of a wing or blade (of a propeller, rotor or turbine) or sail as seen in cross section. An airfoil shaped body moved through a fluid produces a force perpendicular to… …
9Lift (force) — For other uses, see Lift. Boeing 747 8F landing A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a surface force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the …
10Aerodynamics — is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object. Aerodynamics is closely related to fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, with much theory shared between them. Aerodynamics is… …
