- Update to version 6.10.03. Changes since version 6.09:

for all the awful .wpa format
* Removed the option for independent wing analysis
* Introducing type 5 polars for the analysis of variable sideslip
* Disabled the horseshoe vortex method for stability polars, for
beta-polars, and whenever sidelip is defined.
