While other components have become more realistic, one thing that still needs work are the wings and stabilizers. Specifically:
-Slats, flaps, and spoilers. High-lift and lift dumping devices would enhance the performance of many current designs.
-Wing thickness. Wings should go from the current one-size-fits all design to an adjustable thickness.
-Wing shape. The wings should be airfoil shaped instead of just squared. Ideal airfoil options might include the current symmetrical, semi-symmetrical, and flat bottom options, with maybe more options for supercritical and supersonic airfoils.
-Wing connect points. When wings are mated with the fuselage, they connect at one single point. This creates an unnecessary weak spot in some designs. There either needs to be a wider area of connection or sturdier connection points.
Thoughts?
We need this now.
NACA Airfoils?
@Mod Nobody uses Uservoice anymore. The Devs need to start paying attention to where the people are at anyway, or at least actually add the features people vote fore on uservoice, which they don't.

@Brields95 No, but I am a pilot.
We need this
i agree with adjustable wing thickness and airfoils, it would remove unnecessary heavy wing load for replicas and giant builds.
Do you work construction? because your hammar on nail accuracy is superb.
I really like this idea! It could make planes more realistic without using complicated processes.
That's cool. It would be handy if it were a separate part to the classic wings though. They're handy in other way also.
