Abstract
The medium in which the aircraft is traveling is an ideal incompressible fluid, the aircraft’s surfaces are assumed to be impermeable [78]. The flow is potential everywhere outside the aircraft and its vortex wake. The vortex wake represented a thin vortex sheet, i.e., a surface of discontinuity for the tangential component of the velocity field. The flow separation lines are taken to be sharp edges of the aircraft’s surfaces.
