We require the Kutta-Joukowski condition as continuity of the pressure field at the trailing edge. Under the assumption of subsonic flow at the trailing edge and using classical regularity results for the solutions of elliptic first order systems, we prove the Hölder continuity of the velocity in a vicinity of the trailing edge and get a local representation formula for the velocity. The Kutta-Joukowski condition enforces that the so-called stress intensity factor in this representation vanishes. The numerical FEM-BEM coupling procedure is executed in spaces of finite element functions characterized by the linear side condition of vanishing approximate stress intensity factors. The linear side condition is formulated in terms of the Maz'ya functional for the stress intensity factor. Detailed numerical implementation and numerical results are presented.
