Extract

The method generally used in England for calculating the aerodynamic characteristics of wings is that suggested by Glauert (1), in which the circulation across the span of the wing is represented by a Fourier series. On account of the form of the series, certain difficulties arise which make the calculation very tedious when more than about four points along the semi-span are considered.
