An airfoil for low speed will have a large, very curved surface to maintain a laminar airflow at a large downward angle. An airfoil designed for high speed will have a shallow, flatter surface to ...

What separates an airfoil from a flat sheet of paper or balsa wood is the shape of its nose. Once a flat sheet’s angle of attack exceeds a few degrees, it stalls.

Let's build an airplane that has no definite fuselage. An rc flying wing, some people call it zagi wing, but it's the same.

An airfoil’s stall behavior in turbulent flow and at abrupt pitch rates (i.e., the “dynamic stall”) is significantly different from the “standard” explanation of stalls.

If you’re moving beyond foam board wings, 3D printing is an excellent way to create an accurate airfoil, and [Tom Stanton] provides us with an excellent guide to modeling wing sections for easy ...
