Abstract
The chapter presents different formulae resulting from the application of the Kutta–Joukowski theorem. The Kutta–Joukowski theorem is a convenient tool for vorticity-based analyses of wings and blades. The theorem is applied to a rotor with a finite or an infinite number of blades. Applications of the formulae for the case of large tip-speed ratios are provided at the end of the chapter.
