Abstract: On the basis of the Oseen approximation the three-dimensional flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a flat plate is studied. A system of two integral equations for determining the drag and the lateral force on the plate and an integral equation for the lift are obtained. The paper gives the asymptotic form of the integral equation for the lift, for high Reynolds numbers. In the inviscid limit the integral equation of the lifting surface theory is obtained. Lifting line theory and slender wing theory in weak viscous flow are discussed. Viscosity corrections are given for some particular wings: elliptic wings of high aspect ratio and slender delta wings.
