How to simulate an asymmetric mid wing in aero_buildup

[patrick-lowe]

Hi Peter and everyone else,

First off thanks for making this library. I have found it pretty useful so far.

I'm working on an airplane design that has a fuselage and an asymmetric (about xz) wing. When looking into the source code it appears that wing_aerodynamics() ignores any overlap between the fuselage and the wing. This seems to introduce a double count of aero loads in the overlapped region.

My first thought on addressing this is to manually specify the wing root section to start at the fuselage max y. With a symmetric wing I think this would work, but because my wing is asymmetric I would need to define it as 2 separate wing objects. Since wing_aerodynamics() is called on each wing separately I think this approach would miscalculate the aero forces since there would be an erroneous wing tip where the separate wings would be touching the fuselage.

Two questions.

1. Is my understanding of aero_buildup correct?
2. If so does anyone have ideas on how to fix this issue?
