Types of an airfoil?
there are many types of airfoils but in two different categories. They're Conventional and Laminar Airfoils. They each have many designs. Such as the conventional airfoils have six basic designs of airfoils.The Laminar Airfoils are : -
What holds the airplane in space?
Well the plane is flying through the air not through space. It is the pressure differential on the airfoils that make the plane move through the air.
What are the types of airfoil?
Airfoils can be categorized into several types based on their design and application. The main types include cambered airfoils, which have a curved upper surface for improved lift; symmetrical airfoils, which have identical upper and lower surfaces for uniform lift characteristics; and flat-bottomed airfoils, commonly used in beginner aircraft for enhanced stability. Additionally, airfoils can vary in thickness, leading to classifications like thick and thin airfoils, each suited for specific flight conditions and performance requirements.
Is helicopter or aeroplane is having more speed?
An airplane has more speed due to the fact that helicopters airfoils (or blades) stall on one side once the aircraft's speed reaches the same speed of the rotor rpm.
Where to buy a boomerang?
Be careful when buying a boomerang as there are many which are boomerang shaped but are not actually real boomerangs. Boomerangs are like airplane wings. They must have real airfoils in order to function. The above 2 vendors sell real, aerodynamic boomerangs.
What are the things on top of a plane called to lift the plane?
airfoils

What is the difference between the way airplane and a helicopter fly?
The basic difference can be boiled down to this: The similarities between the two is that they both fly from air moving over the airfoils. On a plane this is also called the wing, on a helicopter it's called the rotor. Since the airplane is a 'fixed wing' aircraft, the plane must be moving forward in over to fly. On a helicopter the spinning rotor generates lift all the time.
How are the airfoils of a stunt plane and fighter jet different?
The airfoils on a stuntplane are meant to make it extremely manueverable at low speed, so the control surfaces are much larger. Jet fighters need less movement.
Why use anhidral airfoils?
To get the control surfaces into air that has been undisturbed by the fuselage.
