Up to v.4.15, the reference area and the reference span have been defined as the planform's area and span. With this convention, the winglets' contribution are counted in the area and in the span. This is not necessarily the best choice, since it is usually convenient to compare performance coefficients of a wing with and without winglets, but with a constant reference area.

Starting in v4.16, the default option is to use the planform area and span projected on the xy plane. With this definition, the contribution of the winglets to span and area is zero. For convenience, it is still possible to choose either reference area; the option can be set in the dialog box for analysis definition.
