Researchers have formulated a mathematical solution that could help minimize noise, maximize aerodynamics in design of porous airfoils (2-D wings) to improve wind turbines and air vehicles. Many ...

Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are characterized by their compact size, lightweight design, and high maneuverability, making them highly practical for various applications. However, the ...

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

Airliners have looked largely the same for a long time now. The ongoing hunt for efficiency gains has seen the development of winglets, drag reducing films, and all manner of little aerodynamic tricks ...

ATLANTA. Trailer aero specialist Rocketail now offers a new “contact response hinge” to its Wings system, an always-deployed aircraft style wing design with multi-level airflows that requires no ...

From the cockpit, wing design isn’t cosmetic — it’s performance. Pilots see firsthand how small aerodynamic changes affect ...

Biomimetic aerodynamics leverages nature‐inspired design principles to enhance the performance of airfoils, turbine blades and other lifting surfaces. Drawing inspiration from the tubercles on the ...

Taking a cue from birds and insects, researchers have come up with a new wing design for small drones that helps them fly more efficiently and makes them more robust to atmospheric turbulence.

OK, I'll admit it: The title to this story is an outright lie. For some of the articles I've written previously, the "All About..." heading seemed like a good way to encapsulate the basic, ...

How NASA used the F-104 Starfighter's razor-thin wing to explore supersonic handling, shuttle approaches, and X-15 support.

Many species of owl are able to hunt without being heard by their prey by suppressing the noise of their wings at sound frequencies above 1.6 kilohertz (kHz) -- including the range at which human ...
