The problem addressed is that of the initial profile appropriate for the calculation of the boundary layer on the wing at a wing-body junction. The geometry considered is such that the fuselage boundary layer reaches the interaction region still attached and it is shown that when the wing has curvat
## Abstract The theory of Kukalova‐Peck ('78) is examined and rejected except for the hypothesis of the partially pleural origin of wings. Data suggest that the arthropods ancestral to insects left the water, and that movable precursors of the wings, possibly exopodites, were immobilized and fused
