An inviscid model for the interaction between a thin wing and a nearly uniform propeller slipstream is presented. The model allows the perturbation velocities due to the interaction to be potential although the undisturbed slipstream velocity is rotational. A finite difference scheme is used to solve the governing equation. Numerical examples indicate that the slipstream has a strong effect on the aerodynamic properties of the wing section within the slipstream and lesser effects elsewhere. The slipstream swirling motion strongly affects the wing load distribution, however, its effect on the wing's total lift and wave drag is small. The axial velocity increment in the slipstream has a small effect on the wing lift, however, it causes a large increase in wave drag. (Peters)
