The lift a wing generates at a given speed and angle of attack can be one to two orders of magnitude greater than the total drag on the wing. A wing's aerodynamic efficiency is expressed as its lift-to-drag ratio. Accordingly, wings have streamlined cross-sections that are subject to aerodynamic forces and act as airfoils. A wing is a type of fin that produces lift while moving through air or some other fluid.
