Wing Aerodynamics

Wing Aerodynamics is the branch of aerodynamics that studies the behavior of airflow and the generation of aerodynamic forces and moments specifically over lifting surfaces designed to produce lift, such as wings, distinguishing it from other aerodynamic domains focused on bodies of different geometries or flow configurations.
