Remarks

Definition of the wing-fuselage attachment. The area of the fuselage attachment (resp. center wing box, CWB) is defined by defining one resp. two ribs from the rib definition. If one rib is defined (rib1) the CWB goes from the closer end of the componentSegment (e.g. wing symetry plane) to the defined rib. If two ribs are defined (rib1 and rib2), the CWB is between both ribs.

Additionally attachment pins can be defined. At those positions the wing is attached to the fuselage. This can be e.g. used for defining the wing-attachment of high wing configurations, HTPs or VTPs.
