Consider a commercial airplane with no wing tip device. For some aircraft, especially kit plane, the end of the wing is just like a flat surface, imagine you chop the wing with a knife vertically, this kind of wing has little problem to model in CATIA. But for some airplane, especially jet airplane, the wing tip usually end with a quite smooth & round cover, for instance : http://www.weekendcfii.com/photos/citabria/03X_wing_tip.jpg ,

& etc.
How to model this nice curvy wing tip? I have been using swept, multi-section surface, but all end up failure.
