Summary

It has been adequately demonstrated that the reduction of structural and aeroelastic problems to a form suitable for computation is best done using a matrix formulation. The present paper outlines such a formulation of the aeroelastic problems on wings of arbitrary plan form and gives a method of solution which has been found satisfactory over a wide range of practical calculation. In the symmetric case the problem of manoeuvre margin due to aeroelastic effect is considered and in the anti-symmetric case the rolling effectiveness and the reversal speed for aileron controls are dealt with.
