I've seen fans branded as AIRFLOW and STATIC PRESSURE. What's the difference between an AF Fan and a SP Fan?

AF= air flow sp=static pressure. Air flow has a weaker force when you put your hand on it. Static pressure would have a stronger force. Both are used in diffrence scenarios. Static would be for places that are hard to force air through while air flow would be for places with a very open space

So a good exhaust fan is an AF fan? And a good intake fan is a SP fan? Am i right?
