wing_planform(wing)

Computes standard wing planform values.

Assumptions: Trapezoidal wing with no leading/trailing edge extensions

Source: None

Inputs: wing.

areas.reference [m^2] taper [-] sweeps.quarter_chord [radians] aspect_ratio [-] thickness_to_chord [-] dihedral [radians] vertical <boolean> Determines if wing is vertical symmetric <boolean> Determines if wing is symmetric origin [m] x, y, and z position high_lift <boolean> Determines if wing is in a high lift configuration flaps. Flap values are only used if high lift is True

span_start [-] Span start position (.1 is 10% span) span_end [-] Span end position (.1 is 10% span) chord [-] Portion of wing chord used (.1 is 10% chord)

Outputs: wing.
