Airfoil in a sentence as a noun

Price helps, just as lift generated by airfoil shapes does, but it's not what has made Airbnb big.

If the airfoil was flying higher, the force pattern on the ground grows wider, but the net downforce doesn't change.

As a result, 2D airfoil diagrams do not describe normal flight.

You see a similar phenomenon in the number of people who believe that the shape of an airfoil is what keeps a plane up.

Real world 3D flight is "vortex-shedding flight," and the explanations based on 2D airfoil diagrams leads to no end of confusion.

A Brayton cycle has a certain efficiency at a given pressure ratio and an airfoil has a certain maximum lift-curve ***** and there is nothing you can do about it.
