Below is the animation of Cycloid body and Aerofoil wing with same length to width ratio. In animations you can clearly see turbulence is higher for aerofoil wing.( to see animation click on the image below).

Aerofoil

Below is the animation of Cycloid wing and Aerofoil wingwith same length to width ratio. In animations you can clearly see turbulence is higher for aerofoil wing.( to see animation click on the image below). Cycloid wing In this only top portion is cycloid bottom portion is flat for wing design (for high lift to drag ratio).improved design has cycloid at the bottom
