IN Part I the motion of an aircraft, designated by the position-tensor X, was considered relative to a fixed reference frame E. Now in our analysis of the motion of a wing, designated by the position-tensor U, the relevant reference frame is X, though X is still free to move relative to E. The hinge on which the wing moves in the aircraft is denoted by the unit vector h, and for any specified hinge-axis the components of h with respect to both U and X will have fixed values. The basic notation, following the principles adopted in Part I, Section (2), is therefore
