2. NACA airfoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NACA_airfoil

   A: blue line = chord, green line = camber mean-line, B: leading-edge radius, C: xy coordinates for the profile geometry (chord = x axis; y axis line on that leading edge) The NACA airfoil series is a set of standardized airfoil shapes developed by this agency, which became widely used in the design of aircraft wings.

3. Aerodynamic center - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamic_center

   In aerodynamics, the torques or moments acting on an airfoil moving through a fluid can be accounted for by the net lift and net drag applied at some point on the airfoil, and a separate net pitching moment about that point whose magnitude varies with the choice of where the lift is chosen to be applied. The aerodynamic center is the point at ...

4. Airfoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfoil

   An airfoil (American English) or aerofoil (British English) is a streamlined body that is capable of generating significantly more lift than drag. [1] Wings, sails and propeller blades are examples of airfoils. Foils of similar function designed with water as the working fluid are called hydrofoils.

5. Kutta–Joukowski theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutta–Joukowski_theorem

   Kutta–Joukowski theorem. The Kutta–Joukowski theorem is a fundamental theorem in aerodynamics used for the calculation of lift of an airfoil (and any two-dimensional body including circular cylinders) translating in a uniform fluid at a constant speed so large that the flow seen in the body-fixed frame is steady and unseparated. The theorem ...

6. Camber (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camber_(aerodynamics)

   Camber (aerodynamics) In aeronautics and aeronautical engineering, camber is the asymmetry between the two acting surfaces of an airfoil, with the top surface of a wing (or correspondingly the front surface of a propeller blade) commonly being more convex (positive camber). An airfoil that is not cambered is called a symmetric airfoil.

7. Supersonic airfoils - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_airfoils

   A supersonic airfoil is a cross-section geometry designed to generate lift efficiently at supersonic speeds. The need for such a design arises when an aircraft is required to operate consistently in the supersonic flight regime. Supersonic airfoils generally have a thin section formed of either angled planes or opposed arcs (called "double ...
