Abstract
Many authors have established that a finite wing in inviscid flow has a theoretical maximum lift coefficient. One formula based on a theoretical model of a rolled-up vortex system aft of an elliptically loaded wing iswhere AR is the aspect ratio. Ref. 6 criticises the validity of eqn. (1) but at least eqn. (1) gives the order of magnitude of an inviscid CLmax.
