 eta | Relative spanwise position of the cut out profile. The eta coordinate refers to the control surface and desribes the cut out profile at the leading edge of the control surface. | |
| profileUID | Reference to the profile uID. Profiles should be linked in profiles/structuralProfiles | |
| 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). |

RemarksOptional, the exact shape between the upper and lower skin cut out can be given by using cutOutProfiles. In general cut out profiles are open profiles and not closed profiles as e.g. wing airfoils. The placement, scaling and (partly) rotation of the cut out profiles is fixed as the beginning and ending point of the profile is fixed as can be seen in the two pictures below.
