Concept
Finite Wing Theory
Finite Wing Theory
, also known as
Prandtl's Lifting Line Theory
, accounts for the
lift distribution
along a wing with a
finite span
, showing that its lift is less than that predicted by
two-dimensional airfoil theory
due to
induced drag
and
vortices at the wingtips
. It provides a means to determine the
overall lift and drag characteristics
of
real wings
by considering both planar and non-
planar effects
encountered during
airflow over a finite wing surface
.
