controlSurfaceBorderTrailingEdgeType

A border is a section of the wing through two points of the chord surface of the component segment: the leading edge point P_LE at <etaLE> and <xsiLE>, and the trailing edge point P_TE at <etaTE> and ξ = 1, i.e. on the trailing edge of the wing. <etaTE> defaults to <etaLE>. The section plane contains both points and the normal of the component segment. The η and ξ coordinates refer to the parent of the control surface.

Top view of a wing with a flap at the trailing edge inboard of the kink, a spoiler in front of it and a slat at the leading edge outboard of the kink; the leading and trailing edge points of the inner and outer border of the flap are marked

Without further data, the front of the trailing edge device is a straight cut through P_LE, perpendicular to the chord from P_LE to P_TE. <leadingEdgeShape> rounds the leading edge (leadingEdgeShapeType), and <airfoil> replaces the section by an airfoil contour (contourReferenceType). <innerShape> describes the hollow rear side of a leading edge device and is not intended for trailing edge devices.
