Default RE: Wing Chord

Hi John,

I understood the first part of your reply completely. I was a bit shaky on the second part.

To use the first part. The wing LE line would be tangent to the circle drawn. A tangent line is always 90deg to the rad of a circle. So with your method it follows that the chord is always a line drawn 90deg to the LE back to the TE.

Agree?
