      Element airfoilUID

Reference to the airfoil UID

      Element eta

Relative spanwise coordinate (eta) of the control surface, where the leading edge of the airfoil is placed

      Element rotX

Rotation around an axis, going from the leading edge point to the trailing edge point of the control surface. Defaults to 90°, which is equivalent to perpendicular on the control surface middle plane.

      Element rotZ

Rotation of the airfoil around the control surface middle plane normal direciotn. Reference point is the most forward point of the airfoil. Defaults to 90°, which is equivalent to the airfoilplacement in flight direction (along wings-x axis).

      Element scalY

Scaling of the airfoil in spanwise direction (not used for 2D airfoils)

      Element scalZ

Scaling in thickness direction of the airfoil
