Summary

The slender-body theory is applied to the determination of the unsteady aerodynamic forces on slender wing-body combinations when the body is stationary and the wing is deforming harmonically. The uniform body is circular in cross section, the wings are placed symmetrically and the wing deformation mode is necessarily symmetrical about a vertical plane through the body axis. The frequency parameter is restricted to that range for which the “cross-flow” potential equation is Laplace's equation. The case of an allmoving slender control surface on a body is treated in detail and numerical results are given for the forces and moments on body and control surface when the control plan form is triangular: the presence of a gap is neglected.
