An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (100) which includes a fuselage (102), a propulsion unit (104) mechanically coupled to the fuselage (102); and an airfoil (106) coupled to the fuselage (102). The airfoil (106) includes an upper surface (120) having an upper surface portion (164) having a top local surface angle magnitude less than 5 degrees at a subsection (168) of a chord (128). The chord (128) is defined by a line starting at a leading edge (124) of the airfoil (106) and extending to a trailing edge (126) of the airfoil (106). The airfoil (106) includes a lower surface (122) having a lower surface portion (166) with a bottom local surface angle magnitude of less than 5 degrees at the subsection of the chord. The airfoil (106) is configured to store fuel tank (146).
