In general, the chord line is used as an easy-to-understand reference when referring to the properties of a wing or airfoil. The Difference Between a Chord Line and a Camber Line The chord line is a straight line that crosses the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil. What Is the Chord Line in Aviation? And heres the thing.

Airfoils use this principle, with faster airflow over the top creating lower pressure. Wing Camber Wing camber defines how much more curved the wings upper surface is compared to the lower surface. Engineers use Bernoullis principle to shape airfoils to optimize the pressure difference needed for efficient lift generation.

They are designed with a special shape called an airfoil, which encourages passing air to turn and deflect downward. One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber. High camber generally promotes more airflow deflection, thanks to something called Bernoullis Principle.
