Am I crazy, or is it not possible in general to flat-wrap loft between different airfoils? My understanding of this process (mostly from Raymer) is that you connect points of equal slope. However, think of going from something like a 43012 (with a front cusp) to a 0012; there's no equivalent area on the 0012 that matches the slopes at the cusp of the 43012. What am I missing?
