The Airfoil & Theories of Lift Airfoil Definition: Have you noticed the curved shape of a bird ’s wing? An airplane ’s wing is curved also. A wing is designed for flight. It has a special shape called an airfoil. The airfoil shape provides a lifting force when air flows around it. Airfoil shapes can be found on wings‚ fans and propellers. Importance: An airplane’s airfoil plays a very important role in lifting the aircraft. The airfoil is designed to increase the velocity of the
