This adjustment allows for more accurate calculations of lift and drag forces, particularly addressing the shortcomings in induced drag prediction. VSM is further refined by coupling it with 2D viscous airfoil polars, making it well-suited for complex geometries, including low aspect ratio wings, as well as configurations with sweep, dihedral, and anhedral angles. Which are typical for leading-edge inflatable (LEI) kites, that are used in airborne wind energy production, boat-towing and kite-surfing.
