Remarks

Breakdown of the total aerodynamic coefficients into contributions from the various vehicle componenents. A detailed breakdown is only specified for the wing. Other components, such as the fuselage, are more generically referred to as otherComponents. Since the sum of the contributions within a breakdown must equal the total coefficients, the remaining contributions must be listed in remainingContributions.

The remainingContributions cannot be defined alone. Either the definition of a wing, otherComponents or both together is valid and can be combined with remainingContributions.
