The Bot-Wing airfoil helps to smooth frontal air flow and redirects much of the “dirty” air away for a quieter, smoother and more enjoyable ride. The Bot-Wing is a logical, simple and effective add-on ...

A new sound-suppression study provides fresh insight for airfoil design and noise control for micro-aircraft and fluid machinery. The research focused on the concept of trailing-edge noise by using ...

High-fidelity simulations of the SHM1 natural laminar flow airfoil, developed for Honda's business jet, reveal how Kutta ...

We’ve probably all experimented with a very clear demonstration of the basic principles of lift: if you’re riding in a car and you put your flattened hand out the window at different angles, your hand ...

Imagining what must have been going through the minds of the people in that TBM airplane is as gut wrenching as the final outcome was horrific. When the plane departed control, it fell like a stone.

The aim is to make aviation in Europe climate-neutral by 2050. An important part of this is reducing the drag of future aircraft, with the wings playing a major role. The wings not only generate the ...

As the angle of attack is increased on a high-performance airfoil, a small amount of separation occurs near the leading edge. This separation causes the boundary layer to transition from laminar to ...

WASHINGTON, January 18, 2022 -- Trailing-edge noise is the dominant source of sound from aeronautical and turbine engines like those in airplanes, drones, and wind turbines. Suppressing this noise ...

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 ...

Aircraft morphing, especially in the case of the variable camber airfoil, has potential from the viewpoints of both fundamental aerodynamics and flight application. In the field of aerodynamics, the ...
