Al,
I don't know exactly how to phrase this question but I'll take a stab at it.
When you decided to place the heat exchangers in the wings how did you estimate
the effect(if any) due to impact on the designed airfoil(s)? I think this is a
great place for them in the canard designs. I am thinking about the spaces in
the rear of the strakes for mine.
