The chord line is a straight line connecting the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil.
The chord is the length of the chord line from leading edge to trailing edge and is the characteristic longitudinal dimension of the airfoil.

The chord line is defined as the imaginary line that connects the leading edge with the trailing edge. The angle of attack is the angle between the direction of the airflow and chord line. Deflecting a flight control surface modifies the chord line.

The chord line is the straight line drawn from the leading edge to the trailing edge.
The term camber in general means “bend”.

Once you are unintentionally outside the arc be aggressive with up to a 30-degree cut for a chord line.
DME arc airspace is protected four nautical miles up to 500 feet each side of the arc.

The angle between the wing chord line and the stabiliser chord line is called
the Longitudinal Dihedral (LD) or decalage.
For a given centre of gravity, there is a LD angle that results in a certain
trimmed flight speed and pitch attitude.

Some terms that are related to an airfoil are: mean camber line, chord line, chord, maximum thickness, aerodynamic center, and center of pressure.

The yellow line which is labeled chord line can just be thought of the direction the airfoil is facing (but not necessarilly moving).

The extended chord line of the wing root (red line) makes an angle with the longitudinal axis (roll axis) of the aircraft (blue line).

The angle between the chord line of an aerofoil and the relative airstream, no matter what the angle of the aeroplane.

Angle of attack. The acute angle formed between the chord line of an airfoil and the direction of the air striking the airfoil.
Anti-ice. Preventing the accumulation of ice on an aircraft structure via a system designed for that purpose.

ANGLE OF ATTACK The angle between the airfoil's chord line and the direction in which the aircraft is currently moving. The amount of lift generated by a wing is directly related to the angle of attack.

To understand a stall, we first need to review several aviation terms: angle of attack, relative wind, and chord line of the airfoil (wing).
The angle of attack is always based on the flight path, not the ground.

the nose high attitude is a good indication of an approaching stall, but remember that using flaps lowers the nose and an aircraft can be made to stall in any nose attitude. A stall occurs when angle of attack of the incoming airflow and chord line ...

4 percent at the 50 percent chord line. These figures provided the maximum thickness area at 40 percent from the leading edge of the wing and resulted in a small negative pressure gradient over the leading 50-60 percent of the wing surface.

Another way of expressing this is that camber is the greatest distance between the surface of a wing and its chord line.

47. Spread.
