ABSTRACT:
An arch-shaped airfoil which provides aerodynamic directional stability to a surface transport vehicle, while minimizing the overturning moment due to lateral aerodynamic forces. In a preferred embodiment, the airfoil follows a circular arc in a transverse plane, and the lateral force developed on the airfoil in a crosswind acts at the center of the circular arc.
