+##### Setting up a wing 
 The code below shows how the main wing of the aircraft is set up. The basic geometric inputs that define the wing are specified. Then the wing is then appended to the vehicle, which is an instance of the aircraft class. 
 
 In SUAVE units are identified through the use of a units package called Pint. Notice, that for the wing sweep that the units are specified in degrees through *Units.deg. To get results into a desired unit use /Units.deg.
 
 The wing sweep is defined as the sweep of the quarter chord. Additionally, a symmetric wing means that it is symmetric about the root, i.e. there is  right and left side.

 This visualization shows the hierarchy of data in a SUAVE vehicle. Some of the values are defaulted, for example costs. This is because we are not performing cost analysis on the Boeing 737-800. Additionally, this snapshot of the data structure was taken prior to analysis. Therefore weights have not been calculated and are not part of the data. During the mission analysis component weights will be determined and weights will be populated.
