An airfoil (in American English) or aerofoil (in British English) is the shape of a wing or blade (of a propeller, rotor, or turbine) or sail as seen in cross-section. An airfoil-shaped body moved through a fluid produces an aerodynamic force. The component of this force perpendicular to the direction of motion is called lift. The component parall...

The shape of any flying surface, but principally a wing, as seen in side-view ("cross-section"). Its characteristics are Center of Pressure (CP), DRAG (CD), LIFT (CL), Lift-Drag Ratio (L/D), and Moment (CM).

Airfoil. The arrows (1) show the relative motion of the air through which the airfoil (2) is moving. Air travels past the upper edge faster than past the lower edge, so that there is a region of low pressure (6) above the airfoil and one of high pressure (7) below. This results in the airfoil experi...

An aerodynamic device designed to improve traction by increasing the downforce on the car. The use of airfoils (also called wings) increases the cornering capability and improves stability at speed, but often at the expense of additional aerodynamic drag.
