rotorBlade Element

Rotor blade geometries are defined using the same data structure as wings (wingType). But in order to be compatible with the other rotor blade related types (e.g. rotorType, rotorHubType, rotorHubHingeType) there are some additional conventions/requirements regarding the definition and orientation of rotorBlade geometries: see remarks.
