Wing Fan
A wing is a type of fin that produces Lift (force), lift while moving through air or some other fluid. Accordingly, wings have Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines, streamlined Cross section (geometry), cross-sections that are subject to aerodynamic forces and act as airfoils. A wing's Aerodynamics, aerodynamic efficiency is expressed as its lift-to-drag ratio. The lift a wing generates at a given speed and angle of attack can be one to two order of magnitude, orders of magnitude greater than the total drag (physics), drag on the wing. A high lift-to-drag ratio requires a significantly smaller thrust to propel the wings through the air at sufficient lift. Lifting structures used in water include various Foil (fluid mechanics), foils, such as hydrofoils. Hydrodynamics is the governing science, rather than aerodynamics. Applications of underwater foils occur in Hydroplane (boat), hydroplanes, sailboats and submarines. Etymology and usage For many centuries, the word "wing", fr ...
