| Description | The use of linear theory in calculating the twist distribution of a wing designed for cruise at supercritical speeds is justified on the basis of the transonic equivalence rule. A modified version of Multhopp's subsonic lifting-surface theory was used to calculate the twist distribution. The lifting-surface theory is compared with both slender wing theory and experimental results. A study was also made of the effect of wing sweep on the twist distribution required to maintain an elliptic span load at cruise conditions. The important parameters used in establishing this twist distribution are identified. |
