RemarksOptional definition of the exact airfoil shape at the inner/outer border of the control surface.
The airfoil shape is defined via referencing to the airfoilUID. As the leading and trailing edge point is fix due to the outer shape definition of the control surface the airfoil can only be rotated around the x-axis (axis going from leading to trailing edge of the inner/outer border of the control surface). Scaling in x-direction is also defined by the outer shape, wherefore only scaling in y and z direction is allowed.
