Cambered

The off-cambered bends coupled with steep gorges on either side made it one of the most accident-riddled stretches of road between Sydney and Melbourne.

In the 1840s, the cambered ski (a shaped alpine ski with relatively little sidecut and classic camber: the tip and tail touch the snow while the midsection is in the air) was developed by woodcarvers in the province of Telemark, Norway.

Contemporary surfboards often have a centre fin and two cambered side fins.

He introduced the use of the whirling arm test rig to investigate the aerodynamics of flight, using it to discover the benefits of the curved or cambered aerofoil over the flat wing he had used for his first glider.

Second, even if a humped-up (cambered) shape is used, the claim that the air must traverse the curved top surface in the same time as it does the flat bottom surface.

The road was cambered in the middle (for water runoff) and had ditches on either side of the road which were protected by retaining walls.

The Romans built a high-quality road, with layers of cemented stone over a layer of small stones, cambered, drainage ditches on either side, low retaining walls on sunken portions, and dirt pathways for sidewalks.

These major roads were often stone-paved and metaled, cambered for drainage, and were flanked by footpaths, bridleways and drainage ditches.
