Frequency-domain unsteady lifting-line theory is better developed than its time-domain counterpart. To take advantage of this, this paper transforms time-domain kinematics to the frequency domain, performs a convolution and then returns the results back to the time-domain. It demonstrates how well-developed frequency-domain methods can be easily applied to time-domain problems, enabling prediction of forces and moments on finite wings undergoing arbitrary kinematics.
