Modified Schrenk distribution?
I need a spanwise (and better still, chordwise as well) load distribution model for a delta wing with a lot of washout.
One approach is to modify the standard Schrenk result, but does anybody know of anything that's been done already which is accessible / published, and might save me a lot of work ?

G,
Have you tried the ESDU datasheets, Digital DATCOM, AIAA ?
I think you may need to have a look at the work Reinhold Stadler who did some work based on that of Hans Multhopp.

That looks promising, thanks Zeke - particularly since now doing a quick search on the names this gent was working on Horten flying wings, which is incredibly close to what I'm worrying about.
I will look up what's in the RAeS library when I next get up to town, but it's easier if one knows where to start looking - these gent's work I didn't know about, but armed with some prior knowledge I'm better equipped to start.
Cheers,
G

G,
In that case have a look at the following, it may save you a visit ...
The Nurflügel Page .
Multhopp, Hans: "Methods for Calculating the Lift Distribution of Wings (Subsonic Lifting Surface Theory)"; ARC RM 2884; 1950
Basic deign of flying wing models
The Panknin Twist Formula
Performance analysis of the "Horten IV" Flying Wing
Weissinger.: "The Lift Distribution of Swept Back Wings" NACA TM 1120,1947.
Wilkinson, K.G.: "The Horten Tailless Aircraft", RAE Report FA 259/1, T.N. No. Aero 1703, October, 1945.
