Abstract:
The lifting line equation for nonplanar wings of high aspect ratio is a hypersingular integral equation. Using a Gauss type quadrature, we propose two numerical methods of solving. For one of them we obtain a numerical scheme for which the convergence is proved in the literature. The methods are tested in the case of the arched wings with quasi-elliptic distribution of the chord for which the exact solution is known. The limit case when the arc is quasi-closed is considered, too.
