Summary

Description
English: Vocabulary terms used in the aeronautical domain. Notes:
  • The angle of attack is measured relative to freestream velocity (measured far ahead), not local relative velocity (which varies both in direction and magnitude in the vicinity of the airfoil) ;
  • The mean camber line (or simply "camber line") is constituted by the midpoints of all airfoil cross-section segments perpendicular to the chord.
Different definitions for the thickness
Note that the thickness can be defined in several ways (see File:Airfoil thickness definition.svg). The so-called "British convention" is used here.
