Chord Length
The length of the chord of an airfoil section
between the extremities of the section.
For many airfoils, the chord is established intersecting the airfoil
profile at its extremities, and the chord length is equal to the length of the
chord between the points of intersection; for airfoils where the chord is
established by a point or points of tangency or intersection not at the
extremities, however, the chord length is considered to extend beyond either
or both points, as necessary, to equal the maximum length of the profile. See
chord, senses 2 and 3.
