Splitting a wing by tangent on leading edge

Splitting a wing by tangent on leading edge

Splitting a wing by tangent on leading edge

(OP)
NX 9
I need to slice a wing in half. Attached is the quick wing I made using section surface to produce the leading edge with G2. The top and bottom surfaces are NOT symmetrical which makes slicing the leading edge at the point of it's tangency at the angle of attack set at 10 deg a problem.

Is there an easy way to define a curve/spline across the leading edge that is tangent to the angle of attack of 10 deg so I can slice this up and print it out without overhangs or issues? Extruding a sheet just on the 10 deg angle of attack doesn't do it b/c it is not a symmetrical wing. Thoughts? Thanks so much.

Look up isocline curves in the help files.

Try the Isocline curves
if that doesn't work, explain again with an illustration what it is you want to do.
