While our minds instinctively attempt to analyse 3D objects by collapsing them to 2D, ultimately a wing is a strongly three‐dimensional object and its geometry has to be constructed in three dimensions. This chapter provides both a theoretical and a practical (computational) toolkit for achieving this task. After a discussion of some key ‘third dimension’ parameters (dihedral and twist), we proceed to describe a geometrical methodology for synthesising a wing and we integrate this, via a real life example, into the overall design process.
