Before designing an aircraft wing, the primary step taken is the designing the airfoil, which is the horizontal cross-section of the wing. The structure of the airfoil plays a vital role in deriving the type and limitations of the aircraft. For instance, aircraft wing with thick airfoils generate more drag than the thin airfoils, therefore, aircraft with thick airfoils are not preferred for long-haul flights.

Biliary stents have been in use since the 1970s to allow for biliary decompression. Biliary stents are mostly used for biliary infection cholangitis. The major obstruction in the biliary tree includes malignant and benign strictures, stenotic sphincters, obstructed endoprostheses, and bile duct stones. Colorectal cancer, which is one of the most diagnosed conditions and other conditions such as gallstones in the biliary duct, esophageal perforation, and bile duct injury requires stenting as a remedial or supplementary procedure.
