Thin Airfoil Theory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thin airfoil theory can be used to predict the forces, moments and pressures on very thin, cambered surfaces; but many of the basic results also apply to airfoils with some thickness. This section deals with the following aspects of the theory.
Classical Theory--a conventional derivation.
Basic Results
Inverse Design Method
Effect of Thickness
Synthesis of a general airfoil with camber and thickness
Thin Airfoil Theory Derivation
