Abstract
A description is given of the distribution of vorticity in the surface of thin wings with large leading edge sweep. Although the delta wing is chosen as the basic plan form the deductions are general and applicable to other types of wing. The conclusions are illustrated with experimental evidence from a water tunnel.Keywords
