aerofoil
An aerofoil, also known as an airfoil, is a shape designed for the upper surface of an aircraft wing, blade of a wind turbine, or a propeller, that contributes to the lift and decrease in drag when air passes over it. It enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of flight or motion through the air or water. The cross-sectional shape is designed in such a way that it generates a significant difference in air pressure on the upper and lower surfaces.
