The leading edge of an airfoil is the

  • A.Rear of the section
  • B.Thickest point of the section
  • C.Point of maximum camber
  • D.Front of the section

Answer: D

Correct answer: Front of the section

The leading edge is the forward point of the section, where the flow divides between the upper and lower surfaces, and near which the stagnation point lies. Its radius is one of the more consequential geometric parameters, because it largely decides whether the section stalls gently from the trailing edge or abruptly from the nose.
