cambered
Arched in middle
Cambered describes a surface that curves slightly upward in the middle or is arched from side to side.
Roads are often cambered to allow water to drain off to the edges.
Aircraft wings have a cambered shape—curved on top, flatter beneath—to generate lift.
A cambered beam or deck has a gentle crown rather than being perfectly flat.
The cambered track helped racers maintain speed through the turn.
