Description

This memorandum attempts to deduce the effects of adding arbitrary camber and twist to a wing of given plan form, at least as far as these effects can be determined without involving complex assumptions and lifting surface calculations. The analysis is too simple to provide a method of design of cambered wings, but it does explain qualitatively their behaviour. It also suggests methods of assessing test results, and of comparing the results of cambered wings designed for different flight conditions.
