A computer program was developed to obtain the wind
tunnel wall corrections for wing angle of attack, induced
drag, and pitching moment in incompressible flow. The
vortex lattice method is used for computation of these
correction factors. The program can be applied to wind
tunnels of arbitrary cross-sectional shape, and wings of
any desired planform, subject to the constraint of straight
leading and trailing edges.
