Abstract
Asymptotic theory of high-aspect-ratio wings in steady incompressible flow is extended to a case where the wing forms either an open or clos ed circular are. The generalization is based on an integral formulatio n of the problem, which resembles the one used by Guermond (1990) for a plane curved wing. A second-order approximation is obtained for the load distribution on two model wings, one resembling that of a gliding parachute, and the other resembling a short duct.
