SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the cross-section equations of the Antonov 140, B-707, Cessna 210, and Citation aircraft. Participants highlight the difficulty in obtaining precise dimensions for the fuselage and wing intersections, particularly for Russian aircraft like the Antonov 140. They suggest that while three-view drawings are accessible online, detailed dimensional data is scarce, complicating the curve fitting process for accurate modeling. The conversation emphasizes the need for specific references or books that provide these equations or dimensions.
