A simple method for calculating the unsteady aerodynamic loadings on harmonically oscillating thin wings in subsonic flow has been developed. The method is based on a concept of concentrated lift forces. The wing is divided into the element surfaces on which lift distributions are represented by single concentrated lift forces. Since the procedure does not include any quadratures, it can be applied easily to calculate the unsteady aerodynamic loadings on complex planform wings even when they have partial span control surfaces. Numerical calculations are carried out for various wing geometries and compared with other analyses and experiments.Keywords:
