Results com- pare closely with those from methods which pre- scribe lift-mode series, and from pressure measure- ments. method obviates the prescription of singularities in lift distribution along lines where normal velocity is discontinuous, and is readily adapted for problems of complex geometries. It is seen 5 posteriori chat the lifting elements and collocation stations can be located such that the Kutta condition is satisfied approximately. The load on each element is determined by satisfying normal velocity boundary conditions at a set of points on the surface. normal velocity induced by an elanent of unit strength is given by an integral of the subsonic kernel function.
