mean camber line
1mean camber line — A line joining the leading and trailing edges of an airfoil equidistant from the upper and lower surfaces. The mean camber line determines the characteristics of the airfoil. Also known as a camber line or a mean line …
2camber line — A line joining the leading and trailing edges of an airfoil equidistant from the upper and lower surfaces. Also known as mean line and mean camber line. A section of a cambered wing …
3camber — i. The curvature of an airfoil above and below the chord line surface. It is the distance between the mean camber line and the chord line. Where the mean camber line lies above the chord line, the airfoil is said to have a positive camber.… …
4mean line — A line joining the leading and trailing edges of an airfoil equidistant from the upper and lower surfaces. Also known as a camber line or a mean camber line …
5maximum mean camber — The maximum camber of the median line of a wing section from the root to the tip …
6upper camber — The curvature of the upper surface of an airfoil. It is the distance between the mean camber line and the chord line when the mean camber line lies above the chord line. Also called a positive camber. See also camber …
7negative camber — i. An airfoil in which the mean camber line lies below the chord line. It denotes that the upper surface of the airfoil is concave and not convex. ii. An arrangement of the undercarriage in which the wheels are tilted inward of the vertical.… …
8Camber angle — From the front of the car, a right wheel with a negative camber angle …
9reflex camber — An airfoil in which the mean chord line curves upward toward the trailing edge. This is to provide a download well aft of the center of gravity, increasing with air speed, in a tailless aircraft. Two cases of reflex chamber …
