Wing Geometry
An airfoil or (aerofoil), such as the wing of an aircraft, produces a
resultant force acting upwards, i.e., transversely to the direction of flight. The forces involved are dependent on the speed of the aircraft (the dynamic pressure increases proportionally to the square of the speed) and more particularly also on the geometric features of the wing – i.e., its-cross sectional shape and its shape in plan.

My guess it that any one interested in airfoils already knows this bit of trivia you've posted. Especially us licensed pilots. For More Information about wing geometry http://www.mechanicalebook.com/ There isn't anything on that page that's a decent pointer to airfoil characteristics. -- Dave Hatunen, Tucson, Arizona, out where the cacti grow |
