Title: Explain airfoil design, pressure distribution, and the effects of altitude.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Examining the Forces that Act on Aircraft

Explanation should include the following:

- Understanding the effects of different wing planforms is important when learning about wing performance and airplane flight characteristics.
- A planform is the shape of the wing as viewed from directly above and deals with airflow in three dimensions.
- Aspect ratio, taper ratio, and sweepback are factors in planform design that are very important to the overall aerodynamic characteristic of a wing.
