In aerodynamics, the angle of incidence refers to the angle between the chord line of an airfoil (such as a wing) and the relative wind or the airflow that is approaching it. It is a critical parameter in determining how an airfoil generates lift. The chord line is an imaginary straight line that connects the leading edge (front) of the airfoil to the trailing edge (back).
