An airfoil is a section shaped to produce

  • A.Sound
  • B.Electricity
  • C.Lift
  • D.Heat

Answer: C

Correct answer: Lift

An airfoil is a section shaped so that the flow over it is faster on one side than the other, producing a pressure difference and hence a force perpendicular to the relative wind. Everything else about the shape - the camber, the thickness distribution, the leading edge radius - is a refinement of how well and over what range of conditions it does that.
