Are you using fusion 360? (if so isn't it great? Serious cat umongst the pigeons programme)
Yes, yes and yes. NYCCNC on Youtube led me to it.
Going from the grabs, it looks like you envisage straight legs leading to a bent aerofoil crown?
No, its designed as a Unicrown fork, so the legs would be curved. At the moment the bend radius is about 10 times the minor axis of the fork leg, but I'm flexible about that. The idea is to get the legs as far from the wheel as possible as it's likely to be used with a Hed3 at least some of the time.

Many assumptions taking place here.

Going from the grabs, it looks like you envisage straight legs leading to a bent aerofoil crown? If so how do see that crown coming about? I'd have thought machining or casting to cost prohibitive for such a niche item, so if bending, why not bend the leg rather than having a crown and plug? Bending that profile tube would be problematic, but far from impossible...
