Yes Jax;

A Chord is Sometimes used in designing an Airfoil.

Poor, poor Jax. A perfect example of a little Knowledge being Dangerous.
For sure Jax has; "A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE" It seem damn little knowledge.

Jax, get your mind off the image of a Wing! A Chord is use in Airfoils
continually in a Sail without it being a design ingredient. It is the
result of and adjustment. A Chord in a Sail is the result of ajustment
or wind strength Even you admitted it became "Larger" when flaps were
deployed. You really aren't sure about that. but the resultant chord
varied.
It is more of measurement than a design.

There are Airfoil sections in Car roof lines, Building section,
Locomotors,etc. They are also found in wings.

A Chord is Sometimes used in designing an Airfoil.

just sometimes, eh? you mean sometimes an Airfoil (sic) has no chord?

I guess I didn't know that.

WOW!! the things one can learn on the Internet!!!

continually in a Sail without it being a design ingredient.

really? you mean an Airfoil (sic) or Sail (sic) can be designed with no
consideration whatsoever as to chord?

I guess I didn't know that.

WOW!!! The things you can learn on the Internet!!

Really? Without pulling the mast closer to the clew? Without stretching the
outhaul? Without compressing the boom?

WOW!! The things you can learn on the Internet!!

Even you admitted it became "Larger" when flaps were
deployed. You really aren't sure about that. but the resultant chord
varied.

Really, old man? And just how does deploying the ***flaps*** make the chord
larger? Deploying the flaps actually makes the chord *less* because the flaps
pivot down and towards the front of the wing.

old man, you are still confusing "chord" with "curve". Tain't the same thing
at all.

It is more of measurement than a design.

old man, listen up. "chord' *IS* a measurement, the distance ---- between the
leading edge of the wing and the trailing edge of the wing ----.

The design consideration is HOW LONG to make the chord.

Not just a roamin' candle, but an off-centre catherine wheel too!
This is an amazing display you're creating for us, Thom. Though
I do hope the combination of Jax exploding and foaming at the
same time doesn't do too much damage to his keyboard...
