wingCutOutType

The skin of the side named in cutOutSides — the upper shell, the lower shell or both — is taken away over the region of the cut-out. The spars, ribs and stringers that run through the region are not affected; where they have to make way, their own borders say so.

The region is bounded like a cell of a shell: a border at its leading and one at its trailing edge (cellPositioningChordwiseType) and one at its inner and one at its outer end (cellPositioningSpanwiseType). Each of them is given by relative coordinates, by a spar or by a rib, and the corners of the region are the points where the borders meet.

This cut-out belongs to the structure of the wing. The cut-out that makes room for a control surface is defined at the device itself and takes away a part of the wing including its outer shape (see controlSurfaceWingCutOutType).

Example

An inspection opening in the lower shell of the example, between two relative chordwise and two relative spanwise positions:
