Summary

A general formula is obtained for the interference velocity when an aerofoil with elliptically distributed circulation is in a closed or open wind tunnel of any cross-section. The mapping of the section on the interior of a circle is given in terms of the Jacobian elliptic functions appropriate to the ellipse and rectangle. The result is worked out for an aerofoil which spans the focal distance in a tunnel whose section is an ellipse.
