Assertion (A): A cambered airfoil has a negative zero-lift angle of attack.

Reason (R): Camber allows a section to generate lift at zero geometric incidence.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and connected: because the cambered section already lifts at zero incidence, it must be pitched nose-down before the lift vanishes, giving a negative zero-lift angle. A symmetric section reaches zero lift at zero degrees.
