Hi, I'm a second year aero student and we were tasked to design a glider with almost similar features to the one shown. However, designing the fuselage has been a challenge for me on Autodesk Inventor especially the pointed nose and towards the tail section.

I've created the 2D sketches then extruded them hoping that fillet would make the fuselage round but it just didn't.

Can you extrude around a line instead of parallel to a plane/surface? If yes, how?

What tools can you use to achieve the smooth curve towards the tail?
