Every pilot should have a strong understanding of the fundamental principles of aerodynamics that keep their aircraft flying.

More blades, more speed? Not exactly—here’s why extra propeller blades don’t guarantee higher top speeds for aircraft.

"Aircraft systems are designed to alert pilots to any faults prior to take-off. Given these safeguards, any in-flight failure is most likely due to a sudden event -- such as a bird strike or a ...

Collaboration with MagLev Aero could see XTI install magnetically levitated electric propulsion on an uncrewed aircraft for ...

Over the years, numerous improvements in aircraft design, maintenance and operational procedures have resulted from crash investigations. Each incident, especially a fatal one such as the Air India ...

BETA Technologies establishes electric aircraft facility at the Springfield, Ohio Airport, bringing advanced battery tech and ...

In retrospect, the ND-102 was too much for the Germans to handle. Yet the lessons learned from this program influenced some ...

During take-off, this thrust must overcome the aircraft’s drag and provide enough forward velocity for wings to generate sufficient lift supporting the plane’s maximum take-off weight of ...

Modern airliners can glide safely for miles after dual engine failure, giving pilots time to manage the emergency.

From issues with the wing flaps, a bird strike or pilot error – the possible causes of the disaster are numerous and complex ...
