“翼型”常见的英文表达是 airfoil(美式英语)或 aerofoil(英式英语) ,二者意思基本相同,在航空、流体力学等相关领域经常使用。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 constantly researching new aerofoil shapes to improve the efficiency of wind turbines.(工程师们一直在研究新的翼型形状,以提高风力涡轮机的效率。)
