Abstract

The airfoil represents the DNA of the wing platform and provides the fundamental characteristics of the aerodynamic performance in 2-D geometry, as measured in section lift coefficient and section drag coefficient. This article presents an introduction to the general nomenclature of the airfoil, its geometric profiles and its aerodynamic performance.
