A superfluid has zero viscosity.
Lift of an airfoil (and any shape for that matter) is zero without fluid viscosity. So, superfluids shouldn't generate lift when flowing around an airfoil.
Is that true? I think it is impossible for a superfluid not to generate lift on an airfoil, because, as the theory goes, the fluid particles would have to have infinite velocity at the sharp trailing edge.
