Abstract
SummaryA generalised conical field theory is developed and is applied to delta wings in a non-uniform stream. It is shown that a non-uniform stream may be characterised by the downwash at all points in space. The lift of a delta wing is found when the downwash in the wing plane is given as a power series in the co-ordinates in the wing plane. The basis of the conical field theory is described in some detail but the results only of the calculation of the lift distribution for various down washes are given. The solutions of certain integral equations, required in the calculations, are given in the Appendix.
