Abstract

Summary Calculations have been applied to a series of flexible plates (delta, gothic and ogee) to estimate their static aeroelastic behaviour. Assuming linear aerodynamics, the general tendencies of Part I are particularised. Assuming non-linear aerodynamics, it is shown that in general two positions of equilibrium are apparently possible at each speed. The stability of the models is not considered.
