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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Efficiently simulating the noise generated by wings and propellers promises to accelerate the development of quieter aircraft and turbines. A new simulation approach has enabled a first practical, and ...

Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work. What, exactly, ...

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 ...

You know how it is. You’re working on a project that needs to move air or water, or move through air or water, but your 3D design chops and/or your aerodynamics knowledge hold you back from doing the ...
