A linearized analysis has been made of a two-dimensional aerodynamic characteristics of infinitely thin, perfectly flexible, possibly porous airfoils. Jacobi polynominals have been used to express pressure distributions and airfoil shapes, considering well over the leading edge singularity. It is found that airfoil shapes become stable with increasing porosity. Furthermore, the effects of porosity on lift and center of pressure are determined as functions of angle of attack and excess length of material over the chord length.
