Abstract
The medium around the aircraft in hand is taken to be an ideal incompressible fluid, the aircraft’s surfaces are assumed impermeable. The flow is potential everywhere outside the aircraft and its vortex wake. The vortex wake represents a thin vortex sheet, i.e., a surface with a jump of the tangential component of the velocity field. The flow separation lines are taken to be the sharp edges of the aircraft’s surface.
