An airfoil profile for an aircraft, such as an unmanned aerial system. The airfoil profile includes a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion that are spaced apart along a chordwise direction, an airfoil centroid; and an upper airfoil surface and a lower airfoil surface. The airfoil surfaces are shaped such that the pressure center of the lifting force is arranged at the same chord location as the airfoil centroid or closer to the trailing edge portion along the chordwise direction than the airfoil centroid. With this, a pitch-down momentum is generated that urges the leading edge portion towards a lower angle of attack.
