  • õhuvoo ristlõike geomeetriline projektsioon
  • tiiva aerodünaamilise ristlõike aerodünaamiline projektsioon
  • a body so shaped as to produce aerodynamic reaction normal to the direction of its motion through the air without excessive drag
  • any surface, such as an airplane wing, aileron, rudder [or propeller], designed to obtain reaction from the air through which it moves
aerodünaamiline profiil preferred

  • Eseme, nagu näiteks tera, tiiva või purje kuju, ümber mille on õhk sunnitud voolama ühelt poolt kiiremini kui teiselt poolt, mille tulemusena tekib tõstejõud. (Märkus: ei ole traditsiooniline merendustermin, kuid kasutatakse sageli ees- ja tagapurjede puhul, et kirjeldada laeva tuude purjetamise võimalikkust.)
  • a shape of material, such as a blade, wing or sail, over which air is forced to flow faster on one side than the other causing lift
Good to know
  • Not a traditional nautical term, but often applied to the shape of a fore and aft sail to explain its capacity to drive a ship to weather.
