Energy requirement is increasing day to day and therefore renewable energy source is most power full way to full fill requirement of energy. Wind energy is one of the most efficient renewable energy. The aerodynamic airfoils of wind turbine blades have crucial influence on aerodynamic efficiency of wind turbine. This involves the selection of a suitable airfoil section for the proposed wind turbine blade. Airfoil shape of wind turbine and design of airfoil shape are investigated in this review paper. General airfoil behavior and airfoil optimization for improve coefficient of lift are to be investigate in this review paper. The aerodynamic airfoils of wind turbine blades have crucial influence on aerodynamic efficiency of wind turbine. This involves the selection of a suitable airfoil section for the proposed wind turbine blade. Airfoil is most affecting parameter in whole wind turbine for extracting energy so it is necessary to design for maximizes aerodynamic efficiency for high energy production rate.
