Abstract
A method is presented whereby the 'Slender Body Theory' can be applied to the determination of the unsteady aerodynamic forces acting on slender wings and wing-body combinations experiencing harmonic deformations in a compressible flow. The analysis holds for subsonic and supersonic speeds, subject to restrictions which are stated and discussed.
