In order to provide flat wrapping to wing, it is required to interpolate between airfoil coordinates with same tangent angle or slope. Chordwise lines are affected by wing twist. So, it will not generate flat structure from curves with different tangent angles. Hence, a spanwise line is used for flat wrap interpolation.
