Point through which the cut of a cut-out runs

<xsi> is the relative chordwise coordinate of the component segment of the point, <relHeight> its height between the lower (0) and the upper (1) surface of the wing at that position. Both refer to the wing without the cut-out.

The cut runs from the point on the lower surface through this point to the point on the upper surface, tangentially to the surface of the wing at both ends. The point lies ahead of these two points, so its <xsi> is smaller than the <xsi> of <upperSkin> and <lowerSkin>. Behind a leading edge device it is the foremost point that the wing keeps; ahead of a trailing edge device it is the foremost point of the recess.

Sections at the inner borders of two control surfaces with the part of the wing that their cut-out removes: (a) a flap whose cut-out is cut straight between the upper skin at xsiInnerBorder 0.68 and the lower skin at 0.64, ahead of the leading edge of the flap; (b) a slat whose cut-out runs from the upper skin at xsiInnerBorder 0.17 through the control point at xsi 0.06 and relHeight 0.45 to the lower skin at 0.14, so that the wing keeps a nose inside the hollow rear side of the slat

Panel (b) of the figure shows the point of the slat of the example in controlSurfacesType.
