Hi Adam & Craig Thanks for the historic info, but let me explain a little deeper...
I am looking to understand how humans manually define the points used to calculate CI (as well as other points on the wing) I am also hoping to understand how different computer applications define and refine these points. I believe that current methods have tolerances that can be reduced and that we may find additional information that is currently hidden in the 'noise' caused by the tolerance and possible inaccurate placement of points. Adam's DrawWing does a good job of finding points automatically, but the definition used to locate where the application places the point was in some way empiricle (that I have yet to find the details of) and there may well be a better way of defining the points themselves with an inherent increase in reliability. As more and more data becomes available we can re-visit it using modern high speed computation, but the data itself is only as accurate as the placement of the points was. Reply address...
