Cycle Dump

This document describes the construction and properties of the wings of an MD80 aircraft model in the X-Plane flight simulator. It details the build up of each wing from multiple elements, joining the wings together, and providing the resulting wing dimensions and properties, including a total wing area of 48.79 square meters and an aspect ratio of 9.0527. Key specifications like coordinate systems, control surface conventions, and aerodynamic data file references are also defined.

WETTED AREAS IS FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION, NOT AERODYNAMICS, AND WING MASS ESTIMATES
ARE DONE AT 50% MASS PER SQUARE METER COMPARED TO BODIES.
THIS IS BECAUSE FUSELAGES HAVE A LOT OF STUFF INSIDE OF THEM, WHILE WINGS ARE
HOLLOW (FUEL IS FOUND SEPARATELY PER-FRAME BASED ON FUEL LOAD!)
SO THE EFFECTIVE WETTED AREA FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION AFTER ALL WINGS IS 153.8209
square meters.
