The maximum lossless transport current density of the superconducting surface sheath of a long foil of rectangular cross section is controlled by the larger dimension $2a$ of the cross section when the applied magnetic field is parallel to $2a$ and perpendicular to the current. When $2a$ becomes very large the maximum current density becomes very small.
