air K is "Oswalds Wing Effeciancy" or something like that - it referes to the planform of the wing. A "1" is an ideal wing like on the Spit - oval shaped. You can go towards "0" the more square the wing is I think - don't use "0" or you will be sent to Hell


air Advantage refers to the force the pilot needs to exhert to move the control surface of said wing. I forget the rang - both these values are explained in the OpenPlane Doc...
