But can he form himself into an aerofoil and fly?

The classic aerofoil section wing is unstable in flight and difficult to control.

However he made a more lasting contribution to aeronautics in his work on aerofoil design.

A stall is what happens when an aerofoil can not make enough lift to keep the aircraft in level flight.

Requires external bracing or wind pressure to maintain the aerofoil shape.

Alternatively the aerofoil profile may be modified to provide inherent stability.

Lotus was the first team to use aerofoil wings, which appeared partway through 1968.

This pantograph has a small aerofoil mounted on its knuckle.

Use a wing aerofoil section with reflex or reverse camber.

This minimises the stalling speed of aircraft using the aerofoil.

A smaller aerofoil covers a further three stands.

Camber is usually designed into an aerofoil to increase the maximum lift coefficient.

One such design is called the supercritical aerofoil.

The key to this ethos was smaller aircraft use less materials and modern aerofoil sections could give much better performance.

This creates an aerofoil enabling them to glide 50 metres or more.

The discovery team wrote that the "forelimb and the leg feathers would make a perfect aerofoil together."

Moreover, the aerofoil section of the Flexifoil seems upside down!

From 1964 produced using an Eppler 266 aerofoil section.

A wing is a flat, horizontal surface, usually shaped in cross-section as an aerofoil.

An aerofoil with a reflexed camber line is shown at right.

The car could change its aerodynamic profile using an adjustable aerofoil located in the nose section.

This is the basis of aerodynamics and the foundation of modern aerofoil theory.

The design, by Foster and partners, incorporates a sweeping aerofoil shaped roof canopy.

Rigid - stiff enough to maintain the aerofoil profile in varying conditions of airflow.

Rotational sails have aerofoil shape on the leeward side only when filled with wind.
