An airfoil is the two-dimensional cross-section of objects that move through a fluid, such as wings, propellers, rudders, or sails. These sections are designed to provide the optimal lift-to-drag ratio for vehicles moving through fluids like air or water. Typically curved or flat, and often resembling a teardrop shape, airfoils function by creating a pressure difference on their two opposing surfaces based on Bernoulli’s principle. This pressure difference generates aerodynamic forces, enabling
