Extract

In a recent paper Garner discusses, among other topics, the induced (inviscid) drag or lift dependent drag, on finite wings which have effective antisymmetric incidence distributions. One example concerns a finite wing whose incidence varies linearly in the spanwise direction as

This wing experiences an overall induced drag which is made up from two contributions.
