Australian aviation pioneer Lawrence Hargrave, in 1892
... right country (sort of) , wrong time and culture.
The aerofoil, in the form of the boomerang and some other throwing sticks was used by Australian Aborigines some 10,000 years ago, and a carved mammoth tusk in aerofoil shape was discovered in the Carpathian Mountains with a date of some 30,000 years ago.

How do high speed fighter planes fly without aerofoil shaped wings?
High-speed fighter planes have aerofoil-shaped wings.
Why do wings keep a plane in the air?
As the plane flies through the air, the upper surface of the wing, or aerofoil, is so curved that it creates higher air speed and lower pressure. In other words this lower pressure gives an upwars"lift" to the aerofoil, wheras the air rushing under the aerofoil creates higher air pressure giving an upward "push" to the aerofoil. So both surfaces create upward forces.
How air plane fly?
This is due to the shape of the aerofoil and propulsion
How air plane was flying?

How aeroplane fly?
aeroplane have aerofoil shape (you could find in the internet how does it looks like)wings that have a specific shape that would make it fly. The high velocity at the top of aerofoil will create the low pressure and the low velocity below the aerofoil will create high pressure. thus, the high pressure will push the aeroplane upwards.
What is the term used to describe the curvature of an aerofoil?
The camber is the term used
What is a synonym for airfoil?
OrganDevice of flightIn Europe it is also called an aerofoil.
How does a boomerang work as a bent aerofoil?
I think it still works because technically a bent aerofoil wing is still an aerofoil wing, but it would work going in a different direction or work in a different way. I think this because is a human with a broken leg not a human anymore? No, but people with broken leg(s) can still move and do other things in a different way.

Can you make rotar blades using a PVC pipe?
No, they must have an aerofoil shape.
What is a revolving aerofoil to provide lift or to control a plane in flight called?
rotor
What is the difference between a helicopter creating lift and anairplane creating lift?
the difference between an helicopter creating lift and an airplane creating lift is simple. an airplane creates lift by moving forward and its wing that has an aerofoil shaped will create lift. this gives the lift for the airplane and to fly. for helicopters, instead of the aerofoil is fix like an airplane, the aerofoil wing is rotating and create lift. that is why the helicopter does not need to move forward to gain momentum to create lift. by rotating the aerofoil (the blade) the helicopter can creates enough lift to lift up the helicopter.and that's how it fly..
