What was discovered
Steady-flow aerodynamics principle that fixes the flow-separation point at the sharp trailing edge of an airfoil, ruling out mathematically possible but physically unreal solutions; formulated by Martin Kutta.
What it led to
- The Kutta–Zhukovsky lift theorem
- Modern airfoil design
- Basis of potential-flow theory applied to aviation
- Panel-method numerical aerodynamics
