    Abstract

    Lifting Line theory is used to rapidly solve for the spanwise distributions of chord and twist. Recent lifting line work demonstrates wing chord and twist calculated from lift distributions at two different angles of attack of the wing. The present work expands the research to include solving for wing chord and twist from (1) two local 2D lift coefficient distributions and (2) one lift distribution and one lift coefficient distribution.
