metal plate shaped like an aircraft wing Explanation: It would make sense to attach a window to the building with a metal plate.

blade in the shape of a plane's wing Explanation: I trust that you mean "lame" and not "lamé" in French -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2006-08-10 03:51:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I know it is a direct translation (and so is the next one) but homeowners or architects or both at times have weired ideas. |

aerofoil Explanation: Assuming you're not being paid by the word! An airfoil (in American English, or aerofoil in British English) is the shape of a wing or blade (of a propeller or ship's screw or sail) as seen in ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfoil The LouvreMaster airfoil shutter from Architectural Window Systems is a stylish screen that provides exeptional sun control and privacy. www.spec-net.com.au/press/1105/aws.htm BRISE SOLEIL Aluminium Aerofoil. BRISE SOLEIL Aluminium Computerised ... LOUVRES AND SCREENS Sun. PARTITION Venetian Blinds. ROOF Window: Blinds ... www.bpindex.co.uk/manf.html?id=1198 Fin “Fin”, or “aerofoil”, generally refers to a symmetrical or non-symmetrical wing-type extruded hollow section. http://www.levolux.com/L_Misc/glossary.htm There's a page dedicated to aerofoil fins for window shading purposes at: http://www.levolux.com/L_products/aerofoil_fins.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2006-08-10 08:57:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (with pictures) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2006-08-10 08:59:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, confidence level should not be so high since your blade is "to attach the window to the building". Like you, I fail to see why such a thing would benefit from any way in being so shaped. Now, were it attached to the building, in front of the window, it would be an aerofoil, sun fin, brise-soleil, etc. |
