Originating MIT Unified Engineering teaching notes, hosted by MIT OpenCourseWare. No personal byline is established from the four-page PDF. Page 2 defines the camber-slope Fourier coefficients; p. 3 derives section lift and the zero-lift incidence; p. 4 explains angle-independent quarter-chord moment within thin-airfoil theory. The chord-to-angle substitution integrates over the angular interval from zero to pi; numerical examples in the concept articles are original calculations, not experimental results.
