The mean lift is not the lift at the mean angle

A finite wing's lift curve, with a gust distribution of standard deviation 3° about a mean angle of 10° drawn along the foot. The wing spends its time spread across that distribution, so what it averages is the average of the curve: 0.7951 against the 0.8368 the mean angle promises, a deficit of 5.0 per cent. Nothing has stalled, and no gust has taken the wing past the stall angle: the deficit comes entirely from the curve bending over, and it is there at every angle where the curve is not straight.

2 essays call gust-average. The drawing above is what it returns with no arguments at all; every call below passes it something, because a placement that passes nothing draws whichever member of the family the generator happens to default to rather than the one its essay argues about.

It is also the blast radius. Changing gust-average changes every figure listed here at once, and on this site it may change what they assert as well as what they show — which is what has to be rebuilt and looked at before the change is believed.
