Dokumentaiton of profile definition #393

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
For wing airfoils and fuselage profiles we have defined an order of definition, 
so that the interpretation for TIGL becomes more reliable. Hence, the 
documentation needs to be extended with this information. 

1. wingAirfoils: The definition starts and ends at the trailingEdge. From the 
trailingEdge on the points are first defined on the lower end of the profile. 
Right-Hand rule applies

2. fuselageProfiles: these are defined from the lower center postion on first 
and start in the positive direction. Hence, if a symmetric definition is 
applied mostly positive numbers are present.
