An "airfoil" refers to a structure that is designed to create lift and reduce drag as it moves through the air. However, there are various synonyms that can be used to refer to this structure. For instance, it can be called a wing profile, aerodynamic or lift-generating surface. Other synonyms include the wing section, blade, or aerofoil. Additionally, the word may also be described as a plane's wing shape, and it's blade-like construction which generates lift in the air. These synonyms, or alternate terms, are used commonly across a variety of fields, from aviation to engineering and design.

How to use "Airfoil" in context?
An airfoil is an aerodynamic device that greatly improves the aerodynamics of an aircraft. They are used on planes such as the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 787. Airfoils are designed to make the plane fly faster and more efficiently through the air. An airfoil is shaped like a wing and helps reduce drag on the plane by providing more lift. Airfoils can be designed to be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical airfoils perform the same in all directions, while asymmetrical airfoils provide more lift in the forward and rear directions.
