9.4: Input Dihedral Angle
Click the folder button 'Dihedral'. To change the active segments dihedral use
the input field 'Dihedral angle [°]'. Enter the desired dihedral in degree. The
centre of rotation is on the leading edge at the segment edge showing to the
wing centre.
Near the input field are Up/Down-buttons located. They can be used to change
the dihedral with mouse clicks.
A click on the right mouse button pops up a menu to set the increment between 0.00001°
and 1°.
The picture below illustrates this function. Segments 0 and 5 (the tip segments)
have a dihedral of 90°, the segments 1 and 4 have 0° and the segments 2 and 3
in centre of wing have a dihedral of 20°.
With a little fantasy you might create crazy constructions, see below.
