Originating NASA geometry definitions, especially Airfoil Geometry and Wing Geometry. Defines the straight chord between leading and trailing edges, distinguishes it from camber and the curved surfaces, and explains spanwise variation of chord in a finite wing. The numerical geometry and trapezoidal-area calculations in the concept article are independent examples.
