OpenVSP Tutorial: Wing Blending, Curved Leading/Trailing Edges and Dihedral

OpenVSP, the parametric airplane configuration software, allows you to have more than straight edges to your wings. You can curve the leading and trailing edges and you can curve the dihedral using the "Blending" tab of the wing dialog box. In this tutorial you will see how to use Blending to make a complex wing shape like the tail of the UWS-1 Ultralight Airplane.
