RemarksDefinition of the inner/outer border of the control surface.
The position on the planform of the control surface is defined by defining the eta/xsi coordinates of the inner/outer and forward/rear border. The eta/xsi coordinates refer to the parent.
In addition, optionally, the airfoil shape of the control surface can be defined closer. For the spoiler'relHeightLE' is used. If an exact control surface airfoil definition should be used, outerShape->airfoils can be used.
Please find below an example for the definition of the planform of a trailing edge device. Other controlsurfaces are similar.
