Abstract
An alternative approach is proposed in order to build a formal slender -body theory valid up to high orders with respect to the slenderness r atio and for a nonlifting body which is not necessary of revolution. T he basic idea consists in asymptotically expanding and inverting the F redholm integral equation of the second kind bearing on an unknown sou rce distribution one may spread over the boundary of the body.
