[edit intro]

An airfoil is an object that is moved through a fluid for the purpose of creating lift.

Airfoils are carefully designed to create the most lift with the least drag.

Airfoils are used on a variety of vehicles such as airplanes and helicopters as well as other systems such as turbines, windmills, and sailboats.
