When you print a wing profile using software like Profili, etc. does the chord length include ailerons? Or in general, when you talk of chord length, does it include ailerons too?

Thanks!

No, the chord length doesn't include the ailerons !!!
Ask questions or you will never get the answers.

Would appreciate some inputs from seniors.

it is a very complex question and i will answer it in Basic Aerodynamics Thread
