Airfoil
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
An airfoil (in American English, or aerofoil in British English) is the shape of a wing or blade (of a propeller or ship's screw or sail) as seen in cross-section. It is passed through a fluid in order to provide either lift or downforce, depending on its application.
