Summary

The solution to the problem of the loading generated on a two-dimensional thin aerofoil by an incompressible flow whose normal velocity component is of the general form exp [i(λx+/μy — ωt)] is calculated. The method used extends the two-dimensional integral equation solution for the induced vorticity by means of a Chebyshev expansion of part of the kernel function. Thin aerofoil approximations are made throughout, but no collocation procedure, as such, is required.
