A result obtained by Williams (1977) for two-dimensional airfoils oscillating in an arbitrary subsonic parallel flowfield is reformulated to show that the pressure distribution induced by any deformation can be construed from the particular solutions for heaving and pitching motions. Specific formulas are presented for an oscillating control surface with a sealed gap.
