*'''dihedral:''' The dihedral angle of the wing. Positive angles are upward dihedral. Defaults to zero. | *'''dihedral:''' The dihedral angle of the wing. Positive angles are upward dihedral. Defaults to zero. | ||
*'''idrag:''' Multiplier for the "induced drag" generated by this surface. In general, low aspect wings will generate less induced drag per-AoA than high aspect (glider) wings. This value isn't constrained well by the solution process, and may require tuning to get throttle settings correct in high AoA (approach) situations. | *'''idrag:''' Multiplier for the "induced drag" generated by this surface.
