“翼型”常见的英文表达是 airfoil(美式)或 aerofoil(英式),二者意思相同,在航空、流体力学等相关领域广泛使用。
例如:
The design of the airfoil significantly affects the lift and drag characteristics of the aircraft.(翼型的设计对飞机的升力和阻力特性有显著影响。 )
Engineers are studying new aerofoil shapes to improve wind turbine efficiency.(工程师们正在研究新的翼型形状以提高风力涡轮机的效率。 )
