Title: Describe airfoil, center of pressure, and mean camber line.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Explaining Principles of Flight

Description should include

- components of an airfoil
  - leading edge
  - trailing edge
  - chord line
  - mean camber line
  - maximum thickness
  - maximum camber
- angle of attack (AOA)
- relative wind
- cambered airfoil (an asymmetric airfoil for which the mean camber line will be above the chord line)
- center of pressure (the moment reference center for which the moment is zero; it depends on the AOA).
