Effects of Spanwise Flexibility on Lift and Rolling Moment of a Wingsail

Several authors have considered the optimization of spanwise loading on a wing, subject to different constraints. Jones (1) calculated the optimum spanwise lift distribution for a wing subject to a constraint on lift and root bending moment. Tan and Wood (2) applied these ideas to determine the opti...
