Hello. I'm creating an airplane wing for my personal project. I'm quite new to Fusion360 so I'm still trying to understand the features.
As of my current state, I designed an engine and an airplane wing. However, I'm having difficulties attaching the engine to the wing. Essentially, I'm unsure how to create the FWD wing/pylon attach point.
Would anyone know how I could connect my pieces together? I tried creating a hole and lofting the pieces together but that didn't seem to work. Here is my current state,
The last picture is an additional image showing the attachment of my winglet to the airfoil. I'm not sure why there's a bend towards the right side. I created the winglet with the loft feature.
Another side note...I would like to test the design out to find the airflow. Is there a free simulation programme for Mac to test the aerodynamics of my design? I tried downloading Autodesk's Flow Design 2019 but I can't get it to open at all.
Thanks ^~^

You need to attach your model to your question. It is hard to answer without it since all you supplied are screenshots. In general, for questions concerning specifics about how to do something with a model, you will get quicker and better answers if you supply the model.

Here's one way. I'm using T-splines to build the pylon. Why? Because I can very quickly form an aerodynamic shape with very few control points giving very smooth curvature. Then once the pylon looks good, I blend it into the other bodies with a G2 fillet.
