Examples of airfoil
airfoil
Longer bones allow for more skeletal and muscular support of a glider's airfoil.

The lift on an airfoil is primarily the result of its angle of attack and shape.
From the en.wikipedia.org
At about 18 degrees this airfoil stalls, and lift falls off quickly beyond that.

The researchers are testing a design for an energy-efficient airfoil, or wing.
From the sciencedaily.com
Lift force is produced by the action of air flow on the wing, which is an airfoil.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This angle is 17.5 degrees in this case but changes from airfoil to airfoil.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It can be imagined as addressing an airfoil of zero thickness and infinite wingspan.

A turbine airfoil cooling system with recessed trailing edge cooling slot.

- A device that provides reactive force when in motion relative to the surrounding air; can lift or control a plane in flight
- An airfoil (in American English) or aerofoil (in British English) is the shape of a wing or blade (of a propeller, rotor or turbine) or sail as seen in cross-section.
- A structure shaped to produce lift when moving in air; A wing of an aircraft
- A wing, kite, or sail used to generate lift or propulsion.
- A surface designed to produce lift from the movement of air over it. Ideally, it should present the greatest amount of lift with the least amount of drag.
- The Airfoil is the shape of the cross section of the wing. The front of the airfoil is the leading edge and is usually a rounded section. The back of the airfoil is the trailing edge and usually tapers to nearly a point. The distance between the two is the wing chord. ...
- The cross-section shape of a wing. Airfoils can be flat-bottomed, semi-symmetrical or symmetrical, depending on the style of airplane and what it needs to do. Also written as aerofoil, depending on which country you are in.
- A surface, such as an airplane wing, shaped to produce more lift than resistance when driven through the air.
- An object with a special shape that is designed to produce lift efficiently when the object is moved through the air. For example, the cross-section of a wing is an airfoil.
