What part of a plane is referred to an airfoil?

The shape of an airplane's wing is called the airfoil; this helps the plane to fly easily while in flight.


Why is that helicopter has an inverted airfoil in the tail section?

An inverted airfoil on the the horizontal stabilizer of an airplane will stabilize the aircraft along the horizontal axis in forward flight.


What is the difference between airfoil profile and airfoil section?

The difference between airfoil and airfoil section is that airfoil is a structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favorable ratio of lift to drag in a flight, it is used as the basic form of wings, fins, and tailplanes of most aircraft. An airfoil section is the cross- sectional shape or profile of an airfoil. I studied that in sixth grade for a model plane that I did a report on. Researching into things that aren't required can help put you farther into life's riches. Hope I helped.


How is an airfoil shaped?

Each aircraft has a different shaped airfoil. The purpose of the airfoil shape is to reduce drag over a range of speeds which the aircraft wing operates at while providing the least possible drag at the cruising speed (regular flight speed) in order to ensure good performance.

Is it possible to fly without a plane or wings?

Apart from rockets, all forms of flight in the atmosphere require some sort of airfoil, although not necessarily wings. Flying squirrels and at least one species of snake are able to glide by shaping their bodies and skin into an airfoil.


How is Bernoulli's principle involved with the flight of a kite?

A kite acts as an airfoil - that's how it flys. (Faster flow over the top = lower pressure, etc).


What is subsonic airfoil?

which airfoil must produce the lift with less than one mach number . that is called sub sonic airfoil...... Another answer would be : an airfoil designed to perform below the speed of sound.

Just like any other airfoil.


What is symmetrical airfoil?

A symetrical airfoil is an airfoil that has the same shape on both sides of its centerline and in this type of airfoil : the centerline is thus straight the chord line is the center line the maximum camber is zero the camber ratio is zero
