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 ...

The 777X will be a redesigned version of the 777-300ER, with extended range capability. The new design includes a swept-back airfoil wing fabricated in composite materials with increased thickness and ...

What causes lift, that upward force that keeps flying machines aloft? Perhaps in a textbook or in a book written for a general audience you've seen an illustration similar to the one shown here—the ...

In an article I wrote in the Aug. '09 issue about race car aerodynamics, I basically said that wings on a Sprint Car are a joke. I say that because what you may think the wings are doing, and what ...
