This book was released on 1962 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic theory of the induced lift and drag of nonplanar, circulation lifting systems is investigated, and conformal transformation and electrical-analog techniques are developed for determining the minimum induced drag of arbitrary systems. Several complex systems are analyzed to illustrate the procedures. Problems attending the practical application of the results to airfoil design are discussed and possible solutions suggested.
