If the angle of attack is small enough, it’s not the airfoil shape but the fact that the wing is at a nose-high angle to the passing air that is fundamentally responsible for generating lift.

When operating at the higher speeds, being maneuverable and agile is likely a greater advantage than being stealthy—making ...

Whether they’re opening for takeoff, spreading wide for a lazy soar or flapping to brake for landing, bird wings make flying ...

Some airplanes are graceful, beautiful machines that soar effortlessly through the sky. Others, not so much. Which airplanes ...

Either circular or square-shaped laser spots may be used ... such as the edges of turbine engine airfoils. Laser peening one side of a thin blade completely and then the opposite side can result ...

A subset of providing solutions for rotorcraft icing problems is predicting two-dimensional ice accumulation on rotor airfoils. While much has been done to predict ice for fixed-wing airfoil sections, ...

In fact, the chord of the airfoil in this section was much greater than ... the team decided to use a single-element beam wing on Piastri's car, having an identical shape to the lower element of the ...

A new wing with a new supercritical airfoil design reduced aerodynamic drag and achieved ... Kreuger Flaps are similar in design to slats on the leading edge but instead of changing the shape of the ...

Ash seed, unlike other samaras, has a high aspect ratio wing which can generate enough lift force to slow ... with an electronic balance with accuracy of 0.01 mg. The planer shape of these seeds was ...

Airbus will in the coming weeks begin work on a new scaled wing demonstrator under a project backed by the UK's Aerospace ...
