Summary

On the basis of the fundamental solutions method developped by the author in some previous papers, in this paper a theory of oscillating thick wings in subsonic flow is given. In this way the representation of the general solution for arbitrary wings and the integral equation of the problem are obtained. The known solutions for the stationary motion and the plane problem are regained as particular cases. General solutions and integral equations for the incompressible fluid and for the two and three dimensional motion at Mach number one are also put into evidence. In the last part of the paper the theory of oscillating lifting line is given.
