What is the shape of an airship called?
airfoil
What did Arthur Cayley invent?
he invented airfoil
What is the shape of a airfoil?
the answer is voyo is it when a girl have one.
Classical thin airfoil theory for symmetric?
yes
Is a curved line a line segment?
Yes, technically a curved line can be a line segment, a line in general is something that can be curved or straight
What is the difference between airfoil profile and airfoil section?
The difference between airfoil and airfoil section is that airfoil is a structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favorable ratio of lift to drag in a flight, it is used as the basic form of wings, fins, and tailplanes of most aircraft. An airfoil section is the cross- sectional shape or profile of an airfoil. I studied that in sixth grade for a model plane that I did a report on. Researching into things that aren't required can help put you farther into life's riches. Hope I helped.
How is an airfoil shaped?
An airfoil is shaped like a curved surface with a rounded front and a tapered end. The curved upper surface and relatively flat lower surface create a pressure difference that generates lift when air flows over it. The specific shape and angle of the airfoil help control the amount of lift and drag produced.
The curve on top of a wing of an airplane is?
Its called an airfoil. Its what gives the plane lift during flight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An airfoil is the totality of the wing. There are various designs of airfoils. One such design was of a wedge shape, which is contrary to the accepted design of the curved upper surface. The basic airfoil includes the upper curved surface of the wing, the bottom flat or less curved surface of the wing, the cord thickness and total wing span. I had given a more thorough lay explanation of how lift is produced, but for some reason that explanation was removed. Go figure? My past background is as a flight instructor/mechanic/cropduster pilot.
What is important about a bird's wing's shape?
A bird's wing is shape like an airfoil. (See the related link Diagram of an airfoil below.) The airfoil is curved more on top, so the air flowing over the top of the airfoil moves faster that the air underneath. This creates more pressure underneath the wing, pushing up and generating a force called lift. This force keeps the birds in the air. (This is also how the wings of an airplane work.)
Which part of the wing produces more lift the upper part or the lower part?
The upper part of the wing generally produces more lift than the lower part. This is due to the shape of the wing (airfoil) which is designed to create lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below, resulting in lift.
How do you use Airfoil in a sentence?
the ground is an type of airfoil
Is airfoil a good conductor?
It depends on what the airfoil is made of.
What is the airfoil on a helicopter?
The rotor blade is the airfoil on helicopters.
How does the pressure difference is created over an airfoil?
An air foil has a flat path underneath and a curved surface over the top. the air travelling over the curved surface travels slower as it has further to go than the same air underneath. this has the effect of causing a vacuum and therefore lift.
Why an airfoil is important for flight?
airfoil is important beacause it boils
What is subsonic airfoil?
which airfoil must produce the lift with less than one mach number . that is called sub sonic airfoil...... Another answer would be : an airfoil designed to perform below the speed of sound.
What is symmetrical airfoil?
A symetrical airfoil is an airfoil that has the same shape on both sides of its centerline and in this type of airfoil : the centerline is thus straight the chord line is the center line the maximum camber is zero the camber ratio is zero
