    SUMMARY

    A method is presented for calculating the spanwise liftdistribution on straight-wing/propeller combinations. Themethod combines a modified form of the Prandtl ing .theorywith a realistic representation of the propeller slipstreamdistribution. The slipstream analysis pennits calculationsof the non-uniform axial and rotational lipstream velocityfield of propeller/nacelle combinations. This non-uniformfield is then sed to calculate theing lift distributionby means of he modified Prandtl wing heory.

    The method utilizes non-linear aerodynamic sectiondata for both the wing nd the propeller blade airfoilsections and is applicable up to stall. The theory isdeveloped for any number o f non-overlapping propellers, on awing with partial or full-span flaps, and is applicablethroughout the aspect ratio ange from 2 O and higher .The analysis is programmed for use on the CDC 6600 seriesdigital computer. The computer program is used to calculateslipstream characteristics and wing span load istributionsfor a number of configurations for which experimental dataare available. Favorable comparisons are demonstrated betweenthe theoretical predictions nd the existing data.
