Aerofoil

"aerofoil" is hardly ever used in practical aeronautics, I have, throughout this book, used the term SURFACE, which, while academically incorrect, since it does not indicate thickness, is a term usually used to describe the cambered lifting surfaces, i.e., the "planes" or ❋ Unknown (1919)

Inventor replaces the wing and propellor with an entirely new method of using a horizontal axis fan instead of an aerofoil wing. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This SBSP project is PRECISELY the sort of work NASA should be performing; as with it's predecessor NACA, which produced almost all the aerofoil profiles for the worlds 'aircraft. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The shape of wings or an aerofoil creates air pressure that can push up or down. ❋ Paul Brown (2010)

It can be incorporated into a ring-shaped aerofoil and fired from a standard grenade launcher at low velocity, while still maintaining a flat trajectory for maximum accuracy. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Another thing to remember is that modern birds and bats are by no means "strict" in their aerofoil size and/or configuration. ❋ Weapon Of Mass Imagination (2009)

At each prompt, reconfigure the specified file path, double-click on the button launch icon, select a single equation default file from the macro selection register, insert the VGA graphics card in the rear aerofoil, and type "C: \" followed by the birthdates of all the people you have ever known. ❋ Bryson, Bill (1999)

Instinctively we fall flat on our stomachs and wait for the hail of stones which tear a few holes in our aerofoil, but we are unscathed. ❋ Rudel, Hans-Ulrich (1973)

The supporting surfaces, consisting of the main plane, or aerofoil, behind, and the elevator in front. ❋ Archibald Williams (N/A)

Aeroplane -- A power-driven aerofoil with stabilizing and controlling surfaces. ❋ Unknown (1919)

= Aeroplane = -- A power-driven aerofoil fitted with stabilizing and controlling surfaces. ❋ Unknown (1919)

Most aeroplanes are modelled more or less closely on flying animals; the Dunne aeroplane took hints from the zannonia leaf, which, being weighted in front by the seed-pod, and curved back on either side, becomes, as the tips of the leaf wither and curl, a perfectly stable aerofoil for conveying the seed to a distance. ❋ Walter Alexander Raleigh (1891)

So they provide an aerofoil, a surface which holds the air and keeps them suspended in the air. ❋ Unknown (2011)

This is why a flat surface like a sail is able to cause lift-here the distance on each side is the same but it is slightly curved when it is rigged and so it acts as an aerofoil. ❋ Jesus Diaz (2012)

And the whole ensemble, including internal bridges and the "canyon" between the old building and the Burton theatre, covered by that giant aerofoil. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Forthcoming phases of flight-testing will allow analysts to correlate results from earlier European transonic windtunnel tests in 2008 that demonstrated successful laminar flow, albeit for a small version of the aerofoil. ❋ Unknown (2010)
