• Airfoil — 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 a force perpendicular to… …   Wikipedia

• airfoil/aerofoil — A body of such shape that the force exerted on it by its motion through a fluid has a larger component normal, or perpendicular, to the direction of the motion than along the direction of the motion. This force is in the form of lift or thrust. A …   Aviation dictionary

• blade chord — A straight line joining the leading edge of a propeller blade with its trailing edge. blade cuff A metallic, wooden, or plastic structure designed for attachment to the shank end of the blade, with an outer surface that will transform the round… …   Aviation dictionary

• Stall (flight) — For other uses, see stall. In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases. This occurs when the critical angle of attack of the foil is exceeded. The critical angle of attack is… …   Wikipedia
