Abstract
SummaryA linearized two-dimensional incompressible potential flow theory for two-element uncambered tandem aerofoil sections is developed. It leads to formulas for lift and moment which can be calculated rapidly on a programmable hand calculator, and which reduce, when the two aerofoil elements come together, to the familiar thin-aerofoil formulas for an aerofoil with a simple flap. The theory is shown to give lift and moment predictions which are in good agreement with predictions of numerical potential flow theory.
